Esholt history

---

In the 12th century the Esholt estate was owned by Syningthwaite Priory, a Cistercian nunnery dedicated to St Mary and St Leonard. When the nunnery was dissolved in about 1547 the estate was granted to Henry Thompson by Edward VI. In 1709 their son Walter Calverley built Esholt Hall, a Queen Anne style mansion house, on the site of the old nunnery.
