An important English Heritage site: Whitby Abbey is one of the UK’s most iconic Norman Benedictine ruins. Famously home to Captain James Cook, British explorer, Navigator, Cartographer, and Captain in the British Royal Navy, famed for his discovery of Australia. With towering cliffs soaring high on the ancient East Side and dramatic landscapes ushering in the modern West Cliff. The town of Whitby has a great legacy steeped in history, culture, and myth. It was once famed for its fishing and whaling industries. There are relics and monuments that commemorate this maritime heritage; the whalebone arch and the statue of Captain Cook stand as reminders of a proud nautical history. Since the Georgian age, Whitby has established itself as a centre for tourism. The attraction of the North York Moors and the beauty of the iconic red pantile roofs glimmering in the summer sun continue to delight tourists from far and wide. Much of the English east coast retains this unique character - red pantiles (from the Dutch dakpan or 'roof pan') were imported from Holland in the seventeenth century. Even on cold, grey, blustery days, these tiles appear to glow with a warmth reminiscent of a long, hot, summer day.

As far back as the 6th century, Whitby may have been known as Streonaeshalch; which could mean ‘fort bay’ or tower bay’; it could also be that it meant ‘Streonas settlement’. Many B&Bs and private properties boast this name and those with a good handle on geography will know that the famous military base north of York is called Strenshall. Whitby comes from an Old Norse word: Hwitebi, which means ‘white settlement’. The name Whitby came into use in the 12th century. The story of how Whitby came to be known as Whitby is perhaps best told through the tales of the Venerable Bede, a 7th century Benedictine monk. According to the chronicles of Bede, the story goes that Northumbria was divided into two kingdoms: Deira and Bernicia. In AD 604 the two kingdoms were united by Aethelfrith and as such enjoyed a great period of peace - an impressive achievement for the first King of Northumbria. It was only in the mid-7th century that things became chaotic when Deira was ruled by individual kings: Oswui of Bernicia and Oswine of Deira. An important milestone that shaped Whitby is a bloody tale of battle, betrayal, and bribery. King Oswui had King Oswine killed to place his own man, Aethelwald, on the throne, a ‘puppet’ monarch that would act on behalf of the power-crazed Oswui. Just usual business for a bloodthirsty ruler of the 7th century. Except the plan failed. First, Aethelwald defected to join King Penda and the Mercians, a great rival of King Oswui. Penda and thirty warlords advanced on the army of Oswui at Urbs Iudeu. In an attempt to divert a huge battle and probable defeat, in exchange for peace, Oswui offered Penda treasure - he declined. Penda remained determined to exterminate Oswui’s people ‘from the highest to the lowest’. What happens next is uncertain but it seems that a deal is struck whereby Oswui surrenders his son, Ecgfrith, as hostage, and Penda and his army retreat to Mercia. The Venerable Bede writes that at River Winwaed, Penda’s army was ambushed by Oswui and his army. The Battle of Winwaed saw Penda decapitated and his army defeated in a smart tactical move by Oswui to press a geographical advantage at the river which saw ‘many more drowned in the flight than destroyed by the sword’. Aethelwald the traitor stood aside ready to realign his loyalties after the battle. Cadafael ap Cynfeddw of Gwynedd deserted Penda and became forever known as ‘Cadomedd’ meaning ‘Battle-Shirker’. Oswui’s victory over the Mercian King marked the end of Anglo-Saxon paganism, opening the door for what came next and defining moment for what would become Whitby. According to legend, before the battle, Oswui prayed to God for victory and promised his daughter would become a nun and to grant twelve estates to the construction of monasteries in the event of his success. Victorious, true to his word, his gifted six estates in Bernicia and six in Deira. His daughter joined the Abbess Hilda at Heruteu monastery (Hartlepool). Two years later, in AD 657, St Hilda founded another monastery at Streonaeshalch. This was the birth of Whitby and the founding of the iconic Abbey on the East Cliff. The view of the Abbey high upon the East Cliff exposed to the North Sea has become one of the iconic landscapes of Yorkshire, known throughout the world and photographed regularly. The founding of Whitby Abbey on the East Cliff was a tribute of thanksgiving to God by King Oswui of Northumbria after defeating the Penda, the pagan King of Mercia. Royal Princess Hild founded the 'double monastery' in the Anglo- Saxon style to be used by both men and women. The Abbey became a centre of learning, a renowned nunnery and burial place for the royal family of Deira. It is through the contribution of Caedmon who is remembered at the Abbey and at St Mary's Churchyard with a cross, that Whitby lays claim to a literary first. Caedmon was the first English poet and Whitby the birthplace of English literature. The first Synod of Whitby took place to establish the date of Easter. The story goes that in a toss up between the Ionan practice followed by Irish monks and the Roman tradition favoured by Rome, the decision was settled by Oswui. King Oswui asked both sides if they agreed that St Peter had been handed the keys to the kingdom of Heaven by Christ and pronounced as 'the rock' on which the church would be built. Reasoning that St Peter was the highest authority in the Church it was conceded that the Roman tradition be kept. Easter was fixed to be held on a Sunday, the day of Resurrection. This first incarnation of the Abbey under St Hilda lasted 200 years. At this time the North-East of England was invaded by the Danes, or as they are more commonly known - Vikings! The invasion of the Danes wrought great destruction across the region and led to the fall of the Abbey. For the next 200 years, the Abbey was derelict, deserted, and destroyed by the ravages of time. The next incarnation of the Abbey was in the 11th century shortly after the Norman Conquest. It is these ruins that remain today. The story goes that a Norman knight travelled to England with William the Conquerer. After witnessing many bloody battles to defeat the rebellious Anglo-Saxon lords in the north of the country, he became a monk. Reinfrid entered the monastic life at Evesham in Worcestershire then later journeyed to Jarrow, a great religious centre in the north of England.

  • Medieval Heritage and Pilgrimage Walks
    Medieval Heritage and Pilgrimage Walks Cleveland Way Trail: walk the 3 miles from Rievaulx Abbey, Yorkshire to Helmsley Castle and tread in the footsteps of medieval Pilgrims along what’s now part of the Cleveland Way Trail. Camino de Santiago/Way of St James, Spain: along with trips to the Holy Land and Rome, this is the most famous medieval pilgrimage trail of all, and the most well-travelled in medieval times, at least until the advent of Black Death. Its destination point is the spot St James is said to have been buried, in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. Today Santiago is one of UNESCO’s World Heritage sites. Read more . the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela holds a Pilgrims’ Mass every day at noon. Walk as much or as little of it as you like. Follow the famous scallop shell symbols. A popular starting point, both today and in the Middle Ages, is either Le Puy in the Massif Central, France OR the famous medieval Abbey at Cluny, near Paris. The Spanish start is from the Pyrenees, on to Roncevalles or Jaca. These routes also take in the Via Regia and/or the Camino Frances. The Portuguese way is also popular: from the Cathedrals in either Lisbon or Porto and then crossing into Falicia/Valenca. At the end of the walk you receive a stamped certifi cate, the Compostela. To achieve this you must have walked at least 100km or cycled for 200. To walk the entire route may take months. Read more . The route has inspired many TV and fi lm productions, such as Simon Reeve’s BBC2 ‘Pilgrimage’ series (2013) and The Way (2010), written and directed by Emilio Estevez, about a father completing the pilgrimage in memory of his son who died along the Way of St James.

It seeks the origin ofthe parish system in the 7th century with the establishment of monasteria in accordance with the theory, the 'minster' hypothesis, that these were the minsters of the Middle Ages and the ancient parish churches of today. The territory of the monasterium, its parochia, was that of the secular royal vill, because kings granted these lands with the intention that monasteries provided pastoral care to the royal vill.
