The only visible remains of White Friars Priory, the medieval London home of the Carmelite order, can be found behind glass under an office block. The priory used to stretch from Fleet Street to the Thames, bounded by the River Fleet in the east and the Temple in the west. Access to the crypt may be possible on a heritage open day.
The evocative ruins of the Augustinian Priory of St Leonard, founded in 12th century and suppressed in 1535. A timber-framed house was built on the site - no trace of this remains. The future King Charles II hid briefly at White Ladies Priory whilst trying to evade Parliamentary forces following his defeat at the Battle of Worcester in 1651.
The easiest way to find this property is to follow the path from Boscobel House.
The supposed site of Scotland's first church, built by St Ninian in the late 4th or early 5th century and known as the 'Candida Casa' - or 'white house' - hence 'whithorn'. There are the modest remains of a 12th century Premonstratensian abbey church, a shrine to St Ninian, a 19th century parish church dedicated to St Ninian and a small museum which contains the Latinus Stone, Scotland's earliest Christian monument.
This place is for enthusiasts only. The museum has limited opening - check before making a special trip. Whithorn itself has limited facilities.
