  • Kirklees Priory was a Cistercian nunnery whose site is in the present-day Kirklees Park, Clifton near Brighouse, Calderdale, West Yorkshire, England. It was originally in the ancient ecclesiastical parish of Dewsbury. The priory dedicated to the Virgin Mary and St James was founded by Reiner le Fleming, Lord of the manor of Wath upon Dearne, in 1155 during the reign of Henry II. The priory gives its name to the Kirklees metropolitan district council, formed in 1974 and including the towns of Huddersfield, Dewsbury and Batley, though the priory is just outside the district's boundary itself and is in neighbouring Calderdale. Nuns from the priory were involved in scandals between 1306 and 1315. Archbishop of York William Greenfield wrote to the prioress about rumours concerning Alice Raggid, Elizabeth Hopton, and Joan Heton. Rumours implied they had been seeing religious and secular men in the nunnery and their behaviour led to the house being considered one of disrepute. The priory was not dissolved by the Dissolution of the Lesser Monasteries Act in 1535, but continued for worship and hospitality. Cecilia Topcliffe was the prioress, and the convent consisted of the nuns who had been there on 4 February 1536, who continued as before the passing of the Act. In 1539, after the Second Act of Dissolution, Joan Kyppes surrendered the priory, which had eight inmates. At the date of surrender the whole property was worth £29 18s. 9d. The site was granted to John Tasburgh and Nicholas Savill; the church and priory buildings were demolished, and the stone was used to build Low Hall, now known as Old Farm. A local inn, The Three Nuns, was named after Cecilia Topclife, Joan Leverthorpe and Katherine Grace, who sought refuge at the site of a guesthouse of the priory and ran it as a hostelry. The present inn was built in 1939 and the site of the guest house is buried under the car park. All that remains of Kirklees Priory are the long double-aisled barn, and parts of the Old Farm House, calf house and the gatehouse; all are still standing as Old Farm. They are all Grade I listed buildings. The gatehouse was on Historic England's Heritage at Risk Register, but following extensive repair work was removed from the list. The landscaping of Kirklees Park was surveyed by the landscape gardener, Francis Richardson, in 1757. It contains a collection of medieval buildings preserved by the Armytage family since the 16th century. The priory is connected with the medieval legend of Robin Hood. A monument in the woods near the River Calder claims to be Robin Hood's Grave. (en)
  • O Convento de Kirklees era um convento cisterciense cujo local é o actual Kirklees Park, em Clifton, perto de , West Yorkshire, Inglaterra. Estava na antiga paróquia eclesiástica de . O priorado dedicado à Virgem Maria e a São Tiago foi fundado por , senhor da fazenda de , em 1155, durante o reinado de Henrique II. As freiras do convento estiveram envolvidas em escândalos entre 1306 e 1315. O arcebispo de York, , escreveu à Madre Superior sobre os rumores relativos a Alice Raggid, Elizabeth Hopton e Joan Heton. Os rumores implicavam que eles tinham visto homens religiosos e seculares no convento e o seu comportamento levou a que a casa fosse considerada de má reputação. O convento não foi dissolvido pela Dissolução da Lei dos Mosteiros Menores em 1535, mas continuou para adoração e hospitalidade. Cecilia Topcliffe era a Madre Superior e o convento consistia nas freiras que estiveram lá em 4 de Fevereiro de 1536, que continuaram como antes da aprovação da lei. Em 1539, após o Segundo Acto de Dissolução, Joan Kyppes entregou o convento, que tinha oito reclusos. O local foi concedido a John Tasburgh e Nicholas Savill; a igreja e os prédios do convento foram demolidos, e as pedras usadas para construir o Low Hall, agora conhecido como Old Farm. Foi ampliado no século XVIII pelos arquitectos Robert Adam e John Carr. Uma pousada local, The Three Nuns (As três Freiras), recebeu o nome de Cecilia Topclife, Joan Leverthorpe e Katherine Grace, que buscaram refúgio no local de uma pousada do convento e a administraram como hospedaria. A actual estalagem foi construída em 1939 e o local da hospedaria está enterrado sob o parque de estacionamento. Tudo o que resta do Convento de Kirklees é o longo celeiro de dois corredores e partes da Antiga Casa da Fazenda, a casa dos bezerros e a guarita; todos ainda estão de pé como Old Farm. Eles são todos os edifícios classificados como Grau I. A área pode traçar sua história até à Idade do Bronze e do Ferro. A investigação arqueológica identificou descobertas junto com cerâmica, evidenciando uma vila romana, fragmentos de estátuas de mármore do século IV e ruínas de uma fortificação romana, cujo local ainda é visível. O Kirklees Park é conhecido pela sua colecção de rododendros e camélias que crescem ao longo das florestas antigas e fazem fronteira com as lagoas e jardins ornamentais. O Kirklees Park é de importância histórica internacional devido à sua colecção de edifícios medievais preservados pela família Armytage ao longo de várias centenas de anos.O convento está ligado à lenda medieval de Robin Hood. Um monumento na floresta perto do rio Calder afirma ser o túmulo de Robin Hood. (pt)
