The image shows the Priory Church of St Mary in Bridlington, East Yorkshire. It was founded as an Augustinian priory around 1113 AD by Walter de Gant, making it one of England's earliest Augustinian houses. During the Dissolution of the Monasteries under Henry VIII, the church's nave was saved to become the parish church for the townspeople, while the rest of the priory buildings were dismantled. It was one of the largest and wealthiest monasteries of the Augustinian order in Northern England. The church is dedicated to St Mary and stands as a significant historical and cultural attraction in the region.
