Greyfriars Chapel in Priory Park, Sussex, is a fragmentary medieval structure that forms part of the remains of a Franciscan friary established in the thirteenth century. The surviving masonry represents the eastern end of the chapel, including portions of the chancel and its associated walls, which attest to the religious community's architectural aspirations during the medieval period. The site reflects the presence of the Franciscan order in Sussex and the subsequent fate of such religious houses following the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the sixteenth century. The chapel's remains, now set within Priory Park, constitute a significant archaeological monument documenting medieval monastic occupation in the county.
