Editing Gisborough Priory (section)

===Other properties owned by the priory===

The priory was responsible for St Leonard's [[leprosy|leper]] hospital at [[Hutton Lowcross]] to the south-west of Guisborough. The hospital was probably founded in the 12th century and became a dependency of the priory in 1275. It was last documented in 1339. Its fate is unclear but it probably survived until the Dissolution in 1540. Archaeological excavations in a field near [[Hutton Village]] in the 1960s did not find definite evidence of the leper hospital.<ref>{{PastScape|mnumber=27694|mname=St. Leonards Hospital|access-date=6 August 2011}}</ref>

The priory may also have owned a cell at Scarth Wood at [[Whorlton, North Yorkshire|Whorlton]]. A grant issued by Stephen de Meynell in the reign of [[Henry I of England|Henry I]] records the donation of the hamlet of Scarth to enable the priory to establish a cell for habitation by a single monk or canon. It is unclear whether the cell was built as Scarth is not mentioned in the priory's deeds or in Henry VIII's commissioners' valuation of its property. Fragmentary building remains at Scarth are recorded as existing in the mid-18th century. They were cleared by the start of the 19th century so there is no trace of whatever might once have stood there or indication of what it might have been used for.<ref>{{PastScape|mnumber=26813|access-date=6 August 2011}}</ref>
