Description: INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:? The shipping rates shown are for '1st Class International Package' with tracking.? Ebay is also promoting their EIS International Shipping program on sellers pages. I do not use this program because it is more expensive, slower, not very transparent, and frustrating to the buyer, if something goes wrong. Do not select it, if ebay does show it as an option.

The Priory of Mount Grace,'says the local guide, ' is situated about eight miles E.N.E. of Northallerton. The nearest railway stations are Welbury and Trenholme Bar, which are respectively about four miles distant, but no conveyances can be obtained at either.' Let us take at random a single cell. We shall find that the allowance of space to each monk is tolerably liberal . The actual building measures, on the outside, about 25 feet by 28 feet ; and occupies, roughly speaking, a fourth part of an enclosed square, the remainder of which is devoted to garden, the house being in a corner with a frontage to the cloister, and having the garden on two sides of it in the shape of an L. Along the remaining part of the cloister frontage there runs, inside the high wall of the garden, a passage covered with a pentice ; and a similar structure connects a door at the back of the building with an aperture in the corner of the garden wallaway from the cloister and towards the stream . This aperture was once wrongly supposed to be an exit to the running water and the open country ; but it is now clear that it was only a recess, connected by quite other relations with the drainage of the stream .
