One church is recorded in the Domesday survey, at Bridlington. (2)
Bridlington Priory Church "The nave, the only surviving part of the
church, was probably always parochial and is a building of ten bays
with triforium and clearstorey and two western towers of which the
southern one has been carried up to some height in modern times." (3)
The south wall retain traces of its Norman character. (4)
There is evidence that a Saxon church was to be found here in 1042,
and later a Norman church was erected,...Some Norman stonework can
still be seen at the NW corner of the exterior. (5)
The east end of the existing building is terminated by a modern wall
on line with the former N. and S. transepts. This line is
represented externally by the remains of a buttress on the N. side,
and a modern indication of the transept wall on the S. side. No
other remains of the transepts, quire or presbytery now exist. The
only visible remains of the former domestic buildings to the Priory
appear on the external wall of the S. aisle. (6)
Parish Church of St Mary. Founded c1113, only the nave and portions
of the towers remain of the Priory church. Chiefly 14th and 15th
century, restores in 1846-79. Grade A. (7) |
