The Carmelite monastery of Hoogstraat, like many English communities on the Continent, acquired a considerable number of treasures over the centuries, many of which were somehow smuggled into England when the nuns fled the Revolution, remaining at Chichester until the community was finally dissolved in 1994. Although much was sold, the major Carmelite relics went to Rome and the remaining relics were given to the Oxford Oratory. Among those now in Oxford is an important medieval silver-gilt reliquary, which has been deposited at the Ashmolean Museum.
