The original building, possibly from around 1100, may have been destroyed by a period of civil war and rebuilt on the present site on the west edge of Ixworth.^[2] Remains of the priory include the almost complete east range whilst some of the west range can be found incorporated into a house, known as Ixworth Abbey.^[1] Stone from the ruins of the priory was used to build Hengrave Hall north of Bury St Edmunds in the early 16th century.
