White Ladies Priory

Sightseeing attraction | Wolverhampton | England | United Kingdom

The White Ladies Priory is a historic ruin of an Augustinian nunnery from the late 12th century, located near Wolverhampton, England. The name "White Ladies" refers to the white garments worn by the nuns who lived there. The priory was dissolved in 1536 during the dissolution of the monasteries by Henry VIII. In 1651, a significant event took place here when King Charles II sought temporary refuge after the Battle of Worcester, before moving on to the nearby Boscobel House.

Today, only ruins of the priory remain, providing insight into medieval architecture and history. The remains of the church and cloisters are clearly visible, bearing witness to the former importance of the site. The ruins are open to the public, providing a peaceful place for visits and reflection.
