England was one of the earliest sites of the Carmelites in Europe. It was not until the 20th century that the Irish Carmelites definitively brought the Order back to England after its suppression in 1538 by Henry VIII.
In 1952 a commissariat was erected, and a Province in 1969, with the title of "The Province of the Assumption". The Anglo-Welsh Province opened two communities in Scotland. The Province officially changed its name in 1999 to the Province of Great Britain. At present the Province has about 22 religious working in England and Italy.
