Docking Priory was a small cell of the Benedictine abbey of Irvy in France, to which house the church was appropriated. It was dissolved by the Parliament of Leicester in 1415. [1] The Priory was passed to Joan, Dowager Queen of England, and then by Henry VI to Eton College in 1441. [2]
As yet, historians have found no trace of the monastic buildings in Docking. [3]
Castle Acre Priory was a Cluniac priory in the village of Castle Acre, Norfolk, England, dedicated to St Mary, St Peter, and St Paul. It is thought to have been founded in 1089 by William de Warenne, 2nd Earl of Surrey. The order originated from Burgundy. Originally the priory was sited within the walls of Castle Acre Castle, but this proved too small and inconvenient for the monks; hence, the priory was relocated to the present site in the castle grounds about one year later.

The Benedictine Priory, King's Lynn, was a medieval monastery in Norfolk, England. It was founded in 1100 in King's Lynn by Herbert de Losinga, bishop of Norwich, as a small monastic house supporting the church of St Margaret founded at the same time. Its rents and profits were remitted for the use of the priory of the Holy Trinity which served Norwich Cathedral, also founded around the same time by Bishop Herbert. The priory at King's Lynn was lucrative for many years but towards the end of its existence the income from it had fallen to less than the cost of maintaining it.

Its former location is now occupied by Modney Hall farmhouse. According to field research undertaken by Historic England in 1976: "There are no surface structural remains of the priory. Modney Hall has an 18th/19th century brick cased exterior, but according to a former owner parts of the interior date to the 15th [century]."
