Sadly, Nazareth House itself no longer exists. Nazareth House was an old people's home run by an order of nuns. It was situated at the corner of Priory Street and Abbey Street in Lenton. It was established in the mid/late 1800s and housed both old people and young orphans. In 2005 the home was closed down and the land was sold off for development. Everything except for the Bishop’s House has now been demolished to make way for housing.

Issue 25 of The Lenton Times contains some interesting information about the history of Nazareth House and Lenton Priory.

Long before Nazareth House was established, the site was occupied by Lenton Priory. Lenton priory was the most important religious house in medieval Nottinghamshire and one of the wealthiest in the Midlands. For some four hundred years it clearly dominated life in Lenton but following its dissolution in 1538 its spiritual impact ceased and its physical dominance began to diminish as parts of the buildings suffered demolition. Thereafter the Priory ruins were treated as a local quarry by all and sundry and almost everything above ground level was eventually removed. With the passing of the years and the erection of new buildings on the site, people even became uncertain as to quite where the Priory buildings had been situated. Sufficient of the priory's foundations have since been uncovered in excavations to make it fairly clear how the buildings were positioned and also provide clues as to what the Priory must have looked like.
