Not far from Douglas stands the Nunnery, in a pleasant solitude...The prioress of Douglas was anciently a baroness of the Isle. Her person was almost held sacred; her power and privileges were important, and her revenue was considerable. She held courts in her own name, and tried her vassals by a jury of her tenants.' (Nathaniel Jefferys, A Descriptive and Historical Account of the Isle of Man, 1809, M 00904)
