Site of the former nunnery

Handale Priory (also called Grendale) was a priory of Cistercian nuns in Handale, North Yorkshire, England.[1] It was founded in 1133 by William, son of Roger de Percy,[2] and was dissolved in 1539. A fishpond survives[3] and a farmhouse built on the site in the 18th century may incorporate part of the priory.[4]
