Mount Grace Priory - Monks Cell

Rebuilt in 1901 and 1905 by Sir Lowthian Bell, Cell 8 has been reconstructed with the help of archaeological evidence to look as it did when it was in use. Entry is by one door from the Cloister with an L shaped hatch to pass for food and other necessaries to be passed through. On the ground floor are 3 rooms, bedroom, living room with the only fire place in it and the study. Upstairs is the work space where the monks would copy text or in this cell, worked with wool. The garden was also a work space and also had the latrine in the outer wall. There is also a glazed private cloister overlooking the garden. The Monks also celebrated Mass alone in there cells. They only left the cell for the service of Martins and Vespers. They ate together on a Sunday, feast day and the day they buried a brother. Carthusian Monks lived in social isolation to serve God by personal devotion Mount Grace Priory is a Carthusian monastery in North Yorkshire. It is the best preserved of the 9 remaining Carthusian monasteries in England. Founded in 1398 by Thomas de Holand who was nephew of Richard II, and reformed in 1415. It was the last monastery established in Yorkshire before the reformation. Unlike other monks, Carthusians lived as hermits. They spent most of the time alone in cells, encountering each other only in the church for services. The priory closed in 1539 during the suppression of the monasteries with most of the buildings being dismantled. The North guest house was made into a residence in the 17th century. In the 19th century Sir Lowthian Bell extended the property and repaired the priory ruins. Today the property is looked after by both English Heritage and National Trust and sits just off the A19. https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/v... Filmed on a Gopro 9
