Carmelites were originally established as a monastic order in Palestine in the mid‐12th cent., claiming descent from early hermits on Mount Carmel. Several communities were established in England
c.1242. Shortly afterwards the Carmelites were reorganized as mendicant
friars (the ‘white friars’). They remained especially popular in England, where there were nearly 40 friaries at the
dissolution.
