HFF from Finchale Abbey Co. Durham

HFF from Finchale Abbey Co. Durham
On the banks of the River Wear, in a beautiful wooded setting, stand the extensive remains of Finchale Priory. It was founded in 1196 on the site of the hermitage of St Godric, a retired sailor and merchant, who settled here after a life of adventure and travel. The priory was an outpost of Durham Cathedral and functioned as a holiday retreat for the monks of Durham until its suppression in 1538.

Great perspective and a lovely shot Greg. It must have been a fine priory in its time. Even monks need a holiday! HFF and have a good weekend
