Tynemouth architecture

Tynemouth Priory ruin. The medieval gothic architecture of the ancient weather beaten east end. The great height of the church has an unusual upper level above the main body of the church. The reason for this is unknown but as this site was attacked many times by the Vikings it is thought that it might have been some kind of safe house. The graves around the ruin are not from the same era.
