Description
Whitby Abbey is a ruin founded around 656 by Oswy, King of Northumbria, with St Hilda as its first abbess. The abbey was destroyed by the Danes around 870 and later refounded for the Benedictines by Reinfrid, a soldier of William the Conqueror. The extensive ruins of the church date from the early 12th century to the 14th century. For more information, see 'Whitby Abbey' by the Department of the Environment, AM. NMR.
