Monastery in Suffolk, England

**Snape Priory** was a priory in [Suffolk](/source/Suffolk), [England](/source/England).[1] It was founded as a cell of the [Benedictine](/source/Order_of_St_Benedict) [St John's Abbey, Colchester](/source/St_John's_Abbey%2C_Colchester) in [Essex](/source/Essex).[2][3][4][5][6]

[Cardinal Wolsey](/source/Thomas_Wolsey) obtained a [Papal Bull](/source/Papal_Bull) for the suppression of this house in 1527–28, towards his foundation of [The King's School, Ipswich](/source/The_King's_School%2C_Ipswich). After Wolsey's attainder and fall, the priory site and its possessions were granted to [Thomas, Duke of Norfolk](/source/Thomas_Howard%2C_3rd_Duke_of_Norfolk) in 1532.[7][8]
