Site of Nuncotham Priory

The priory of Nuncotham in Brocklesby parish was founded by Alan de Moncels around 1150. Throughout its history the Bishops complained that the nuns lived a little too freely. Joan Thompson, the last prioress, had a habit of keeping her own family at the convents expense, and the sisters had a habit of going out to visit friends.

It was Dissolved in 1539.^[1]

There are earthworks covering a wide area which indicate the remains of building sites, fishponds, and several moat-like features. The site is scheduled.^[2]
