Sopwell Nunnery Ruins, Cottonmill Lane, St Albans, Hertfordshire
This is all that remains of a Tudor mansion built in around 1560 by Sir Richard Lee. He was a soldier and royal engineer who was granted the land by Henry VIII in 1540. The house was built on top of the medieval nunnery. It had been founded by the then abbot of St. Albans, Geoffrey de Gorham in 1140.
