1. Old Malton, St Mary's Priory Church
St Mary's Priory Church, Old Malton, viewed from the river side. The splendid church's origin derives from the Gilbertine Order founded in about 1131 by Saint Gilbert of Sempringham in Lincolnshire, though many of the associated buildings have not survived the ravages of the dissolution of the monasteries (late 1530's) and the need for stone in 'old' and 'new' Malton. The traces' of arches on the south side once separated the nave from aisle.
Looking down the nave between the Norman arches towards the altar. The priory was founded between about 1147-1154 and the church still flourishes as a place of worship.
