More about this scene

The Carmelite friary was founded in 1242 when the first Carmelites arrived from the Holy Land. They stayed here until the Dissolution of the Monasteries three hundred years later. Four hundred years after it was dissolved, the Carmelites returned. This picture shows part of the remains of the foundations of the original building. The small scale of the earlier buildings when compared to those built later is striking.
