St. Mary's Parish Church, Lindisfarne

View of St. Mary's from the hill

St. Mary's Church from the west facade of the priory. There is a cross base directly in front of the church that is one of the original Anglo-Saxon cross bases. The cross which it held has long since disappeared, and was perhaps destroyed by the Danes. St. Mary's parish church was completed in the thirteenth century.

A tiny coracle, such as the ones the Irish monks used to sail the North Sea.
