• Castle, Lulworth

Dorsetshire, England, built in 1588 and in possession of the Weld family since then. When the Trappists were driven out of France during the Revolution they were received, 1794, in Lulworth Castle, which was built on the site of a former Cistercian monastery confiscated by Henry VIII, and remained there for some years until the foundation of Mount Melleray in Brittany. John Carroll, the first bishop in the United States was consecrated in the chapel of the castle, 1790. The castle was destroyed by fire, 1929.
