Abstract: |
An Heritage Statement has been compiled by York Archaeological Trust concerning St. Joseph's Convent, York to establish the history and significance of the property, and to provide an assessment of the impacts future works will have on the established significance. St Joseph's Monastery was founded in 1870 for the Poor Clare Colettine, an Enclosed Order from Belgium. The original buildings, the Cloister, the Extern and the Priest's House, now known as the Lodge, were built in one phase of construction between 1871 and 1875 in the Gothic Revival style. The convent continued to expand in the 20th century with the introduction of an orchard and an agricultural area, ensuring that the Sisters were increasingly self-sustainable and subsistent. The convent began to decline in the 21st century until the order moved in 2012 allowing for redevelopment on the site. |
