Grace Dieu Priory
Description
Grace Dieu Priory in the Leicestershire countryside is rich in medieval history. Founded in the 13th century as a home for Augustinian canonesses, it presents a chance to experience atmospheric ruins and ancient arches while enjoying peaceful walks. The priory's intriguing past is tied to figures like its founder, Rose de Verdon, and its dissolution in 1538 under Henry VIII. Once a vibrant religious house, today the site invites you to step back in time and soak in its history, from medieval life to its connection with the renowned poet William Wordsworth.
