Mount Grace Priory, Medieval Carthusian priory in East Harlsey, United Kingdom.
Mount Grace Priory contains stone walls, individual cells for monks, a church, and multiple garden spaces spread across its extensive grounds.
Thomas Holland, 1st Duke of Surrey and half-brother of King Richard II, established Mount Grace Priory in 1398 as the last monastery in Yorkshire.
The monks at Mount Grace Priory lived in separate cells, following strict rules of silence and dedication to contemplative prayer according to Carthusian traditions.
English Heritage maintains the site, offering guided tours, educational programs, and research opportunities throughout the year for visitors and scholars.
The priory features reconstructed monk cells that demonstrate the medieval heating system using a network of underground channels to distribute warmth.
