Nottingham Whitefriars, Former Carmelite monastery in Nottingham, England

The monastery grounds once included multiple buildings and plots of land, situated at coordinates 52.9526 latitude and -1.15184 longitude in central Nottingham.

Founded before 1271, the monastery received land donations from Reginald de Grey and obtained a Royal Confirmation Charter from King Edward II in 1319.

The Carmelite friars, recognized by their white habits, maintained religious practices and provided sanctuary services to the local community during medieval times.

Modern visitors can locate the former monastery site by following Friar Lane in Nottingham, where archaeological remains were discovered during road construction in 1923.

Prior Richard Sherwood received a royal pardon from King Henry VIII in 1532 after fatally injuring another friar during an altercation at the monastery.
