Little Treasure
Tynemouth Priory was founded early in the 7th century.
In 800 the Danes plundered Tynemouth Priory.
Afterwards the monks strengthened the fortifications sufficiently to prevent
the Danes from succeeding when they attacked again in 832.
However, in 865 the church and monastery were destroyed by the Danes.
At the same time, the nuns of St Hilda, who had come there for safety, were massacred.
The priory was again plundered by the Danes in 870.
The priory was destroyed by the Danes in 875.
The small parish church of St Mary remained.
This Chapel is behind the Blue door.
When entering it is truly stepping back in time.
