Priory sights in Northumberland

1. Lindisfarne Priory

   • Holy Island (Lindisfarne), England
   • Sights › Priory

   The skeletal, red and grey ruins of the priory are an eerie sight and give a fleeting impression of the isolated life lead by the Lindisfarne monks. The later 13th-century St Mary the Virgin Church is built on the site of the first church between the Tees and the Firth of Forth and the adjacent museum displays the remains of the first monastery and tells the story of the monastic community before and after the Dissolution.
