A memorial stone for 38 nuns at St Monica's Convent in Skipton has been blessed.
The Sisters of the Faithful Companions of Jesus, who taught there from 1865 until the convent closed in 1969, had discovered from archives that many of the nuns, who died in Skipton and were buried in St Stephen's church, were in unmarked graves.
About 80 former convent pupils reunited to bless a stone, which has been placed next to the cemetery cross, which was erected and dedicated in 1909.
The reunion started with Holy Mass and concluded with a lunch in the Easter room in the convent.
Special tributes were paid to the Tempest family, of Broughton Hall. Monica Tempest built the convent and the family has always continued to support it. The reunion was also attended by six of the present nuns.
