Beauvale Priory and Abbey Farm Pictured from the access road to the south of the location. The priory can be seen by visitors when the tea room nearby is open. It wasn't on this day and I was shunted off.

Remains of Beauvale Priory This priory was built for Carthusian monks in 1343 - one of only a handful to be built in England for this order. They resisted Henry VIII's Oath of Supremacy and two members of the charterhouse later achieved martyrdom. A small portion of the remains are located outside this grid square in SK4950.
