A sepia coloured picture of a graveyard in Whitby, UK, with the ruined abbey in the background

Whitby Abbey (of Dracula fame) and overlooking the bay of Whitby, Yorkshire, UK
-
Whitby’s skyline is dominated by the ruins of St. Hilda’s Abbey, high on Whitby’s East Cliff. Spreading below Whitby, a maze of alleyways and narrow streets run down to the busy quayside. From the old town of Whitby, 199 steps lead up to the parish church of St. Mary, whose churchyard on Whitby’s East Cliff gave Bram Stoker the inspiration to write his world famous book, Dracula . August 2007.

This is St. Mary’s Church at the top of the 199 steps in Whitby, North Yorkshire, England. Adjacent to Whitby Abbey. Bram Stoker wrote Dracula whilst holidaying in victorian Whitby and the graveyard here inspired him to bury Dracula at this location! The photograph was taken just after sunrise, one Sunday late Summer 2007.

Whitby Abbey is a ruined Benedictine abbey sited on Whitby’s East Cliff in North Yorkshire on the north-east coast of England. / This place is very special to me ‘cause I totally feel at home in North Yorkshire and I feel connected to its history It was founded in 657 AD by the Anglo-Saxon King of Northumbria, Oswy (Oswiu) as Streoneshalh (the historical name of the town Whitby where the abbey is located). He appointed Lady Hilda, niece of Edwin the first Christian king of Northumbria, as Abbess. The name Streoneshalh is thought to signify Fort Bay or Tower Bay in reference to a supposed Roman settlement that previously existed on the site. This contention has never been proven though and alternate theories have been proposed, such as the name meaning Streona’s settlement; a reference to Eadric Streona. This is highly unlikely though due to chronological considerations: Streona died in 1017 so the naming of Streoneshalh would have preceded his birth by several hundred years. The double monastery of Benedictine monks and nuns was also home to the great Saxon poet Caedmon. In 664, the abbey was the site of the Synod of Whitby, at which the Northumbrian Church adopted the Roman calculation of Easter and monastic tonsure. In 867, the abbey fell to Viking attack, and was abandoned. William de Percy ordered that the abbey be refounded (1078) by Regenfrith (Reinferd) a soldier monk, dedicating it to St. Peter and St. Hilda. Later it became Presteby (meaning the habitation of Priests in Old Norse) then Hwytby; next Whiteby, (meaning the “white settlement” in Old Norse, probably from the colour of the houses) and finally Whitby. The second monastery lasted until it was destroyed by Henry VIII in 1540. The abbey buildings fell into ruins, and were mined for stone, but remained a prominent landmark for sailors and helped inspire Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

A previous picture ‘re-jigged’ in HDR & tonemapped to bring out the colours….I prefer this one! This is St. Mary’s Church at the top of the 199 steps in Whitby, North Yorkshire, England. Adjacent to Whitby Abbey. Bram Stoker wrote Dracula whilst holidaying in victorian Whitby and the graveyard here inspired him to bury Dracula at this location, scary stuff! The photograph was taken just after sunrise, one Sunday late Summer 2007.

February 2008 Digital painting Dracula has a dark appeal. Danger concealed behind a relentless charm and intelligent wit. No physical shackles restrain you, and yet, you are his captive. Copyright © Mike Nash

I was the official “Vanna” at the Bram Stoker awards banquet of the Horror Writers Association. Here, John Carpenter’s friend, Del Howison, is accepting Mr. Carpenter’s “Lifetime Achievement Award” from me. ☺ This was during the 2008 World Horror Convention in Salt Lake City, Utah. Barely visible in the background is author Gary Braunbeck. (obviously, I didn’t shoot this photo ☺)

Bram Stokers Whitby…......... what a place!!!!

St. Mary’s Church, a parish church of the North Yorkshire fishing town of Whitby, U.K. The oldest parts, primarily the tower and basic structure, are Norman and date from around 1110. / The church has never been entirely stripped or rebuilt, but various extensions, modifications and furnishings were added over the centuries. The interior is mostly 18th-century and contains one of the most complete sets of pre-Victorian furnishings in England. From 1890 to 1896, Whitby was the home of Bram Stoker, who set an important scene in Dracula (1897) at the church: For a moment or two I could see nothing, as the shadow of a cloud obscured St. Mary’s Church. Then as the cloud passed I could see the ruins of the Abbey coming into view; and as the edge of a narrow band of light as sharp as a sword-cut moved along, the church and churchyard became gradually visible… It seemed to me as though something dark stood behind the seat where the white figure shone, and bent over it. What it was, whether man or beast, I could not tell.

On having a clean up on the hard drive, came across some old images. This is one of the many gargoyles disguising their intended job of water spout drainage in York caught in a full moon over York. Shot in North Yorkshire
