Hulne Priory is a ruined Carmelite friary located near Alnwick in Northumberland, founded in the fourteenth century as a house of the White Friars. The surviving structures include the tower, which dates from the fifteenth century and stands as the most substantial remaining element, along with fragmentary walls and foundations of the conventual buildings arranged around a cloister. The priory was dissolved during the Reformation in the sixteenth century, after which the site fell into decay, though the tower continued to be maintained and modified in subsequent centuries as a prospect tower and later as a hermitage. The ruins represent an important example of late medieval mendicant architecture in northern England and remain a significant archaeological monument within the Hulne Park estate.
