Mount Grace Priory is a Carthusian monastery founded in 1363 in North Yorkshire, England. The site preserves substantial remains of the monastic precinct, including the distinctive tower and church characteristic of Carthusian foundations, along with ancillary structures such as a mill, well-houses, fishponds, and a surrounding moat that define the monastery's medieval landscape. The priory exemplifies the Carthusian order's architectural principles, with evidence of the individual cells that housed the monks in their solitary contemplative life. The monuments and earthworks visible today, registered under National Heritage List entry 1013019, provide significant archaeological evidence of late medieval monastic organisation and daily life in northern England.
