View east from the West Front & Nave towards North Transept and Presbytery
Perhaps better enlarged
Much of the nave of the Abbey collapsed in 1762, although enough remains standing to demonstrate its scale and plan. This Gothic building replaced an earlier Romanesque nave from the early 12th century. The north wall of the nave (shown here) has three simple 13th century lancet windows, the two remaining windows date from the 14th century and are much larger with elaborate tracery.
The nave at Whitby is not exactly aligned with the presbytery and transepts, in fact, it is misaligned by about four degrees. There is no parallel to this in any other major English medieval church.
