A 12th-century Augustinian priory situated in the village of Coldingham, South Yorkshire, featuring stunning architecture, tranquil gardens, and a rich history.
Came across this when staying in the local area. Very quiet when we visited in the new year. Not much left of the priory but plenty of information around to give you an insight into the past. Was disappointed that the actual church was locked though so we couldn't visit inside.
Lovely old priory still used by Church of Scotland today. Interesting restored grounds rich in wild herbs with fascinating information posts. Lovely peaceful location steeped in history. Beautiful stone semi circular bench facing the orchard - the perfect place to have a seat and enjoy the tranquility.
It is an old priory church. The beautiful thing is it was opened for visitors on a Sunday 3 PM. The interior has preserved the 11th century building intact and added a new construction with it. It is quite good to see the construction and very evident from the images from the interior part.
Interior was locked but exterior and graveyard well worth a wander....
Fascinating historical site. Loads of information boards around the site. I was just passing though so didn't stay long but it's well worth a visit if you're in the area.
Lovely historic place to visit. Take a seat and chill for a while. Lots of information boards giving the history of the priory
