John Dickinson, Grace Dieu Archaeological Society: 'The Ghosts of Grace Dieu', Pukka Publications, 2004, p 10. As such, it has been suggested that the site's prehistoric religious significance may have influenced the choice of location for the mediaeval monastic foundation. However, whilst this may have been the case for many Christian foundations during the Saxon period (the nearby parish church at Whitwick for example would almost certainly date back to a Saxon origin, intentionally sited in a sacred place, above a natural spring) it is probable that the link between the much later foundation of Grace Dieu Priory and a site of possible pagan significance occurs more by co-incidence. Hillier and Ryder offer a more prosaic explanation for the location of the nunnery, suggesting that the chief influence would have been its proximity to a fresh water source.

Chandmari is a village in the town of Doiwala, in Dehradun district in the state of Uttarakhand, India. In the past it was a shooting range for the army and housed the local Ahmed satellite station, which is important to the region for its role in being the second oldest satellite station in the country. Despite the low population and a highly forested land, the village is important due to its accelerated urbanization, situation on the border with Rajaji National Park, its closeness to both the railway station, the nearby Picnic Spot at Lachhiwala and local Doiwala landmarks like the Rambagh house, which lends its name to the Rambagh colony, situated opposite the estate (supposedly the pukka house - local lingo for modern cement and concrete structures - has been around for three quarters of a century - with a more primitive building having existed decades before that).
