The Mount Grace Lady Chapel in North Yorkshire is a long established place of pilgrimage. It is situated on a hillside above Mount Grace Priory and within walking distance from the picturesque village of
Osmotherley in the North York Moors National Park.
 The Lady Chapel originated as an outlying chapel of the nearby Carthusian priory of
Mount Grace, now belonging to the National Trust but managed and
maintained by English Heritage. The Lady
Chapel site is close to the route of the Cleveland Way and provides a panoramic view across the Vale of York towards the
Yorkshire Dales and beyond to the Pennines.
The Lady Chapel belongs to the Roman
Catholic Diocese of Middlesborough and is run by the Benedictine monks of the Abbey in Osmotherley, a sub priory of Ampleforth Abbey. The monks also run
the Roman Catholic parish of Osmotherley and Crathorne.
The monks extend a warm welcome to visitors of all faiths. The tranquility, beauty and historical context
of the setting should provide an inspiration to those who seek to enhance their spiritual life.
This web site provides information on the monastery, parish, directions, contacts and a potted history with the objective of increasing the number of
visitors to the Lady Chapel and to aid their participation in the numerous activities associated with the Chapel, the monastery and the parish.
The content of this site is under the control of the Very Rev Dom Damian Humphries OSB, Prior of the
monastery of Our Lady of Mount Grace.
