Marmont Priory (also Welles or Mirmaud) was a priory for Gilbertine Canons in Cambridgeshire, England. It was established by landowner Ralph de Hauvill (keeper of two of the King's Falcons) as a small priory or chantry of three canons who prayed for the souls of de Hauvill and his wife, Maud. Fifteen years earlier, Maud had a vision of Gilbert of Sempringham ascending to Heaven on the day of his death.The endowment to create the priory was authorised by King John in May 1204 on the proviso that the canons would pray daily for the soul of his mother, Eleanor of Aquitaine, who had died in April of that year. Never a wealthy priory, it held lands in Upwell and Walsoken and used St Peter's, Upwell as its church. By its dissolution in 1538 it was a cell of Watton Priory. Formerly in the Isle of Ely, owing to a change of the county border, the site of Marmont on the old course of the River Nene near Upwell is now in Norfolk.

The Priory of St Mary de Bello Loco, commonly referred to as Molycourt Priory, was a small Benedictine priory located in the parish of Outwell, Norfolk, England.Little is known of its history; its foundation appears to predate the Norman Conquest. Never a rich priory, as a result of a great storm and repeated floods its lands in Wiggenhall, Outwell, Upwell and Downham Market would only provide a living for a single monk. By 1446, Henry VI licensed its appropriation by the prior of Ely and it became a cell of Ely Priory.At the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1539 when the monastery of Ely was dissolved it appears to have consisted of two monks, possibly older monks from Ely living in the house. It was valued at £6 14s. 11d. No trace of the buildings exist, the site now being a farm. Some human remains were discovered in 1974 but a test pit dug in 1998 appears to have found no trace of the location of the priory building.
