A Place For Great Photographers

View On Black

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.

Local legend has it that a ghost, known as the Black Monk haunts the site of the priory on the first new moon of each year.
