Overview

History & significance

Hulne Priory is a Carmelite friary situated in the Hulne Park estate near Alnwick in Northumberland. Founded in the fourteenth century, it represents one of the most northerly establishments of the Carmelite order in medieval England. The surviving remains include substantial stone walls and architectural fragments characteristic of late medieval religious architecture, testament to the priory's construction and development across the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. The site was dissolved during the Reformation in the sixteenth century, after which the buildings gradually fell into ruin, leaving the fragmentary but nonetheless impressive remains visible today within the landscaped parkland.
