House & Family History
Hulne Priory was possibly the earliest foundation in England of the Carmelite order, sometimes called the Whitefriars. It was founded in 1242 by William de Vesci and is today, though partially ruined, among the best-preserved friaries in England. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the Abbey was converted into a private residence. Today Hulne Priory is part of the Alnwick Castle Estate, owned by the Duke of Northumberland.
