Ilchester Nunnery, in Ilchester, Somerset, England, was founded around 1217-1220 as the "White Hall Hospital of the Holy Trinity", (Latin: ''Alba Aula'', French: ''Blanche Halle/Blanchesale'') after the gift of a house and other property by William "The Dane" of Sock Dennis manor, Ilchester (Norman-French: ''Le Deneis'' etc., Latinised to ''Dacus'' (the adjectival form of ''Dacia'' being mediaeval Latin for Denmark) modernised to "Dennis").〔 From this family was probably descended the influential Denys family of Devon, (arms; three Danish battle axes) seated at Orleigh in the 16th century.〔(The Battle Abbey Roll by The Duchess of Cleveland, Vol.1, "Denise" )〕 By 1281, it had been converted into an Augustinian nunnery.〔〔James Stevens-Cox, ''A History of Ilchester, the ancient county town of Somerset'' nos. 1-6, 8 & 9 (1958), p. 129〕 In the early 14th century concerns were raised about the management of the nunnery and the poverty of the nuns. The building was expanded in 1370. By 1463 the nunnery had been dissolved and its chapel become a free chapel, which itself was dissolved in 1548. A ruined building still existed in 1791 but the stone was then used to build the nearby Castle Farm.〔 ==Prioresses== *Alice Atteyerde, 1315〔〔Edmund Hobhouse, ''Calendar of the Register of John de Drokensford, 1309–1329'' (Somerset Record Society, 1887), p. 93〕 *Alice de Chilthorne, 1316〔〔Hobhouse, ''op. cit.'', p. 115〕 *Cecilia de Draycote, 1325〔〔Hobhouse, ''op. cit.'', p. 245〕 *Mary, 1370〔〔William Buckler, ''Ilchester Almshouse Deeds: From the Time of King John to the Reign of James the First, 1200-1625'' (1866), D. no. 26, App. no. 9〕 *Matilda, occurs 1377〔〔Cler.
