Wallingwells Priory

In the reign of

St Mary the Virgin. Formally it was called St Mary in the Park, but it was generally known as the Priory of Wallingwells.[10]

By 1262 the priory had certain rights in Carlton's parish church of St John the Evangelist, and also the parish churches of

temporalities at "Handsworth Woodhouses".[10]

Dissolution of the Monasteries. However, the prioress, Margaret Goldsmith, bought off the Crown officials with a payment equal to the priory's income for more than a year.[10]

In June 1537 Goldsmith demised the priory and its estates to a Richard Oglethorp for 21 years, retaining only the priory church and buildings for the nuns to use.[10] Two years later Parliament passed the Suppression of Religious Houses Act 1539. In December of that year the Wallingwells Priory surrendered to the Crown, which pensioned off the prioress, her sub-prioress and seven other nuns.[10] No visible remains of the priory survive.[12]

The Carlton-in-Lindrick knight is a 12th-century, mounted bronze figurine 6 cm high discovered in 2004 and now displayed in the Bassetlaw Museum, Retford.
