@eli_radu30: Whitby Abbey is one of England’s most atmospheric landmarks — and getting there means climbing 199 steps from the old town. 🖤 The dramatic ruins overlooking the Yorkshire coast are closely linked to Bram Stoker’s Dracula, who was inspired by Whitby during his visit here in 1890. The town, abbey and eerie coastline later made their way into the novel. 📍 Whitby, North Yorkshire ⛪ Don’t skip the steps — the views from the top are worth it. #whitby #whitbyabbey #yorkshire #dracula #uktravel

👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 In 657, King Oswiu of Northumbria founded a double monastery for men and women under the Anglo-Saxon name of Streoneshalh, placing it under the leadership of Saint Hilda. In 664, the monastery hosted a major event in British Christianity the Synod of Whitby. This council resolved the conflict between Celtic and Roman traditions by mandating Roman rites (such as the calculation of the date of Easter and the tonsure). Around 867, the abbey was looted and completely destroyed during Viking raids the site remained abandoned for over two centuries. In 1078, following the Norman Conquest, the knight Reinfrid rebuilt a Benedictine priory under the protection of the Percy family. During the 13th and 14th centuries, the church was rebuilt in the Gothic style. In 1539, during the English Reformation, the abbey was closed by order of Henry VIII its assets, lead roof, and bells were confiscated. The estate was purchased by the Cholmley family, who used some of the stone to build an adjacent manor Cholmley Houseleaving the monastic church to gradually fall into ruin. In 1914, during the First World War, the crossing and central tower (already weakened in the 19th century) sustained major damage when German warships bombarded Whitby.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
