OLD CHURCH DOORS – The great doors, with wicket doorway and spy-hole, of the Carthusian Priory of Beauvale Notts, have long lain neglected at Melbourne Hall, being brought there when the old gatehouse was pulled down in the last century. The present tenant, Mr FANE, has placed them under cover. They are in fair condition, the oak bolted through with great clout anils, and are carved in panels with interesting tracery above. The date seems to be 1350-1380. Mr FANE has lately brought to light among the COLE papers, the original voluminous charter with great seal attached, granting the lands of the dissolved priory of Beauvale. (This item was part of a larger article with the subject “Old Church Doors” written in reply to a correspondent to the newspaper)
