The Abbey of the Minoresses of St. Clare without Aldgate[nb 1] was a monastery of Franciscan women living an enclosed life, established in the late 13th century on a site often said to be of five acres,[1] though it may have been as little as half that,[2] at the spot in the parish of St. Botolph, outside the medieval walls of the City of London at Aldgate that later, by a corruption of the term minoresses, became known as The Minories, a placename found also in other English towns including Birmingham, Colchester, Newcastle upon Tyne and Stratford-upon-Avon.
