Mount Grace Priory
Mount Grace Priory, in the parish of East Harlsey, North Yorkshire, England, within the North York Moors National Park, is today the best preserved and most accessible of the ten medieval Carthusian houses in England.
Founded by Thomas Holland in 1398, the priory consisted of a Church and two cloisters.
Unlike other orders which ate, drank, slept, and worked together, the Carthusians had private cells and lived in silence, devoting their whole existence to solitary contemplation and working on their garden plots.
