The Carmelite Friary, King's Lynn, also Whitefriars, King's Lynn, was a friary of the Carmelites in King's Lynn, Norfolk, England. It was founded before 1261;[1] according to Francis Blomefield, the county historian, the founder was William Bardolf (died 1275),[2] whose descendant, William Bardolf, Lord Bardolf, was buried there.[3] In the early part of the 15th century the theologian and preacher Alan of Lynn (died after 1420) was a member of the community.[4] The friary was dissolved in 1538.[1]
