Beauvale Charterhouse

Beauvale Charterhouse

] Beauvale Charterhouse (also known as Beauvale Priory) was a Carthusian monastery in Beauvale, Nottinghamshire.

History

It was founded in 1343 by Nicholas de Cantelupe in honour of the Blessed Trinity, for a prior and twelve monks.

The annual value of this monastery was just under £200, the limit for the suppression of the lesser monasteries; but by paying the heavy fine of £166 13s. 4d. the monks obtained the doubtful privilege of deferring the day of their dissolution. This bargain was effected on 2nd January 1537-8.

The surrender of this house and of all its possessions in the counties of Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire, and Derbyshire, took place on 18th July 1539. It received the signatures of Thomas Woodcock (prior), and of seven other monks, John Langdale, William Welles, Alexander Lowthe, Edmund Garner, Robert Gowton (proctor), Thomas Leyghton, and Thomas Wallis.
