Description
Back to North Yorkshire. Not to many more to go. But I know many of you have have been enjoying this series so it would be a shame not to carry on with it.
The Priory of St Mary of Gisborough was formally dissolved on 8 April 1540 during the reign of Henry VIII. By 1550 the Chaloner family had bought the site and buildings and still own the site today.
The cloister buildings and the nave of the church were cleared away and formal gardens were established by 1709. The cloister had become a sunken bowling green by this date and the only priory building to remain was the Norman gatehouse. The eastern gable of the church was retained as a landscape feature.
