Pennant's Tour 1773, page 147  "At the time of the dissolution, here was a house of Carmelites or White Friars, said to have been founded by Lord Vesci, Lord Perci, and Roger Clifford, in 1281. After the suppression of the abbies, Henry granted it to Christopher Crackenthorpe of Newbiggen in this county. A ruin adjoining the town-wall may possibly be the remains of the friary."
