Haswell Grange
Haswell Grange was a monastery in County Durham, England.
Towards the end of the twelfth century, certainly after 1180,[1] Henry Pudsey, a son of Bishop Pudsey,[2] having become possessed of the vills of Wingate[3] and Haswell[4] (Essewell), near Durham, founded a monastery at the latter place, and conferred both vills upon certain religious persons, probably canons of Gisburn,[5] for its maintenance.
The newly founded monastery was called 'The Church of St. Mary of Haswell,' [6] but it is doubtful whether the building of any church or religious house was actually begun at Haswell,[7] as almost immediately afterwards the same, together with other and more extensive possessions,[8] were conferred by Pudsey and others upon a newly founded monastery situated at Baxterwood, on the River Browney, about a mile from Durham.[9] This site was probably chosen in preference to Haswell on account of its greater natural beauty.[10]
