Thicket Priory

Thicket Priory is a religious house in the civil parish of Thorganby, North Yorkshire, England, located about 7 miles (11.3 km) south-east of York.

[1] There is also evidence of a devotion to ‘Our Lady of Thicket’ dating from this time.

[citation needed] New monastic buildings were erected in the grounds of the former establishment, and these re-founded as a Carmelite monastery in 2009.

[2][3] The building that was used by the community until 2009 was erected as a country house between 1844 and 1847, and was sold by Lt Col Sir John Dunnington-Jefferson in 1955 to the Carmelite Sisters of Exmouth.

[7] It was converted to a large private house about this time; the nuns moved into a new purpose-built convent in 2009.
