Lossenham Friary

Lossenham Friary was a Carmelite friary in the Weald of Kent in southeast England.

History

Sir Thomas Alcher/Aucher founded the third Carmelite friary in England northeast of Newenden in around 1242. It burnt down in 1275 and was dissolved in 1538. There are no visible remains but Hasted reports that foundations were uncovered south of Lossenham Manor House and a stone coffin was found in the late 18th century.
