Poor Clare Nuns

Picture

The York community of Poor Clare Colettines (Franciscan Nuns) was founded in 1865 by a group of sisters who came here from Bruges. They established St. Joseph's Convent on Lawrence Street, which at its peak was home to 40 nuns.

At the start of the twenty-first century, with numbers gradually declining, the nuns decided to move their convent to a smaller converted house in Askham Bryan, where they continue their life of prayer and service.
