Finchale Priory

.... is signposted on the way to Mum's care home. (She just slept through my visit today). It was founded in 1196 on the site of the hermitage of St Godric. The priory was an outpost of Durham Cathedral and functioned as a holiday retreat for the monks of Durham until its suppression in 1538. It made me wonder when buildings start falling down if they aren't bombed or deliberately dismantled, not much left of it now.
