The priory of St. Mary Magdalene

The ruins are of part of the nave (shown here) and the chancel (SK9871 : Monks' Abbey) of the 13th/late 14th-century church of the Priory of St. Mary Magdalene, a small monastic cell of the Benedictine Abbey at York. The name of the founder is unknown. It was only intended to support a prior and one or two monks to look after the estates belonging to the abbey. Near the time of the dissolution the abbot stated he was not bound by the foundation to keep any monks there at all.
