Beauvale Priory, Medieval Carthusian monastery ruins in Greasley, England
The remaining stone walls and gatehouse of Beauvale Priory stand within green fields, displaying architectural elements from the fourteenth century construction period.
Nicholas de Cantelupe established this religious complex in 1301, making it the third Carthusian monastery built in England before its dissolution in 1539.
The priory grounds contain preserved tiles and architectural fragments that demonstrate the craftsmanship and religious practices of medieval Carthusian monks.
Visitors can access the priory ruins from Friday to Sunday between 9:30 AM and 4 PM, with The Gatehouse Tearooms offering refreshments during opening hours.
Prior Robert Lawrence and his predecessor faced execution in 1535 for refusing to acknowledge King Henry VIII as the supreme head of the Church.
