This green commemorative plaque records: Greyfriars Tower. This late C14 lantern tower stood over the central crossing of the C13 Franciscan Priory Church on this sit c.1230-1538. The Greyfriars attracted academics and wealthy patrons. It was retained as a shipmark for the harbour when the priory was dismantled and its stones reused in the town. Recorded plaque organisation: Rotary Club of Kings Lynn Trinity.

Greyfriars Tower, originally part of a 13th-century Franciscan Priory Church, served as a significant landmark attracting scholars and wealthy patrons; post-dissolution, it was preserved as a navigational aid for the harbor.
