Grace Dieu Priory near Whitwick


Priory came into being around 1235-1241 as a house for Augustinian canonesses and was dedicated to God, the Holy Trinity and St Mary and was founded by Rohese (Rose) de Verdon. In 1538 the priory was dissolved by Henry VII's commissioners.

This is another early oil painting and was a trial in painting foliage and grass rather than the actual ruin.
