Whitby Abbey # 2
Well I am now 69 years old but the ruined walls in Whitby Abbey are somewhat older . The day we visited the Abbey was in November on a bright crisp day . The colour of these old stones stands out well against the blue sky
The first Abbey was originally founded in 657AD by the Saxon King of Northumbria. Though the ruins you can see date back to the twelfth century when the Abbey was rebuilt. This grand monastery was destroyed in 1540 on orders from Henry VIII.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.
I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO
WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMENT .
