Keldholme Priory

Keldholme Priory was a Cistercian nunnery in Kirkbymoorside, North Yorkshire, England. It was established by one of the Robert de Stutvilles in either the reign of Henry I or II. Two graves are visible, built into the wall of the modern Priory, a house built on the site of the nunnery.^[1]^[2]^[3] The Priory experienced great upheaval in the early 14th century during a disputed election as to who would be Prioress.^[4]
