The graveyard of the Parish Church of St Mary, in Whitby, which dates to 1100AD, with Whitby Abbey in the background. The ruins of Whitby Abbey stand in stark isolation atop the cliffs of a coastal headland to the east of the old town of Whitby. The site has been home to an abbey since 657AD, when Abbess Hild (St Hilda), daughter of King Oswy of Northumbria, founded a community of monks and nuns and brought Christianity to the area. It hosted the Whitby Synod in 664AD, when the English Church decided the date of Easter and to follow the Roman rather than Celtic strand of Christianity. Very little of that structure, much smaller than what came after, remains after it was raided by Vikings and abandoned in the ninth century. The majority of the remains – aside from several graves dating back to Saxon times – are from the new abbey founded in 1078AD by the Benedictines, 12 years after the Norman Conquest of England. The nave, north transept and east end of the abbey church remain standing and date from between 1220 and 1539 and are in the early English Gothic style. The site is looked after by English Heritage, who offer an audio guide tour of the abbey which includes much of its history, as well as tales from monks who lived on the site when it was a lively monastic community. More on the history of the abbey can be found in the adjacent visitor centre, a mansion from after the dissolution of the monasteries in the 16th century, built from stone plundered from the abbey itself.

Another go at making this shot more of a "Sutcliffe" style. This time I think it works better due to the joys of Lightroom.
