Lindisfarne

St Mary the Virgin parish church (originally built 635 AD and restored in 1860) in the distance.

Lindisfarne Abbey was first founded by Saint Aidan in 634 AD. The abbey was eventually abandoned in the 9th century, as Viking raids became too threatening, though it was later rebuilt after the Norman Conquest and described as a (relatively smaller) priory.
