Mount Grace Priory is a historic and well-preserved Carthusian monastery located near the village of Osmotherley in North Yorkshire, England. Founded in 1398 by Thomas Holland, the 1st Duke of Surrey, the priory is renowned for its unique and rare layout, characteristic of the Carthusian order.

Unlike traditional monastic structures, Mount Grace consists of a series of small, individually enclosed cells, each with its own garden, providing a contemplative and solitary lifestyle for the monks.

The priory's buildings, although partially in ruins, showcase a remarkable example of medieval architecture. Visitors can explore the reconstructed monk's cell, experience the tranquil atmosphere of the gardens, and marvel at the well-preserved Chapter House.
