Whitby Abbey, North Yorkshire, England, 2003
The Abbey was founded in 657AD on the site of what may have previously been a Roman coastal fort. Whitby Abbey was destroyed during a Viking invasion in 867 but one of William the Conqueror's knights revived it in the late 1070's. After its dissolution in 1538, Whitby Abbey passed to the Cholmley family. Bram Stoker, author of
Dracula, lived in Whitby. British Landscape Panoramic Photograph.
