Coldingham Priory, Benedictine priory in Coldingham, Scotland
The remaining stone structure features pink-colored walls, large windows with fibreglass covers, and an ancient free-standing arch near the entrance point.
King Edgar of Scotland granted the land to Durham Church in 1098, leading to the construction of the initial church building completed by 1100.
The priory began as a double monastery under Saint Aebbe, accommodating both monks and nuns while spreading Christianity throughout Northumbria in the 7th century.
Visitors can access the priory grounds through a gate at the east end of the car park, near the intersection of A1107 and B6438 roads.
The north and east walls display intricate ornamental details, while the south and west walls maintain a simple design within the current parish church.
