Abstract
The history of Clementhorpe Nunnery c 1125-18th century
1 - 40
Excavations in 1976-77 by York Archaeological Trust on a site outside the city walls at Clementhorpe offered a special opportunity to discover more about the history of the priory of Clementhorpe. This priory was the only medieval nunnery in the immediate vicinity of York and the first post-Conquest house for women to be established in the whole of Yorkshire.\r\n\r\nFounded by Archbishop Thurstan between 1125 and 1133, Clementhorpe Priory played a significant role in the lives of the inhabitants of York until its dissolution in 1536. \r\n\r\nThe excavations, described by D. A. Brinklow, uncovered fragmentary structures and some 250 medieval burials. Although exact identification of the features exposed proved difficult because of the massive disturbance of the area in post-medieval times, it seems probable that the church lay to the north of where it is located on 19th century maps of York. \r\n
