Mount Grace Priory, North Yorkshire - a photo on Flickriver

            Mount Grace Priory was founded in 1398 by Richard II’s nephew, Thomas de Holland. It is the best-preserved Carthusian monastery in England. The priory is even used by historians as a ‘type site’, or model, for the study of other medieval Carthusian buildings.

Mount Grace was one of only nine Carthusian monasteries, also known as charterhouses, in medieval England. Carthusian monks lived solitary lives, spending most of their time in isolated cells, and living according to a strict timetable. Mount Grace was one of the last monasteries in Yorkshire to be suppressed during the Reformation.

In the 17th century, part of the priory was remodelled as a mansion. In the early 20th century, the site was bought by wealthy industrialist Lowthian Bell, who enlarged and remodelled the mansion at Mount Grace in the Arts and Crafts style championed by William Morris.
