Were there any convents in London in the 17th century?

Answer 1

I personally think that there were no convents in london in the 17th century because, well basically everyone was busy in their own world and i also think there were very few exsisting convents in london then because there still were many puritans there then,so i think that there were convents but not enogh to make it clear in history.There were none. They were dissolved by Henry VIII in the 16th century. The percentage of the English population who were Roman Catholic was about 1.5% but probably lower in London. The only legal place of Papist worship was the chapel of Somerset House which belonged to Queen Henrietta Maria. After 1679 all Catholics were required to live 5 miles outside the City so no convents ofr monasteries then.
