photo 10 - Priory Gardens
The oldest feature in the Priory Gardens is the terrace walk. There is an 18th-century double avenue of lime trees called Monk's Walk, which is laid out like a diamond. During excavations in 1867, carved stones were found at the end of Monks' Walk. In addition to the stunning east window, a vaulted passage on the south side of the cloister is the best surviving medieval feature.

Guisborough Priory.
A ruined Augustinian priory in Guisborough in the current borough of Redcar and Cleveland, North Yorkshire,
England. It was founded in 1119 as the Priory of St Mary by the Norman feudal magnate Robert de Brus, also an ancestor of the Scottish king, Robert the Bruce.
It became one of the richest monastic foundations in England with grants from the crown and bequests from de Brus, other nobles and gentry and local people of more modest means.
Much of the Romanesque Norman priory was destroyed in a fire in 1289. It was rebuilt in the Gothic style on a grander scale over the following century.
Its remains are regarded as among the finest surviving examples of early Gothic architecture in England.

Made to last, Guisborough Priory. Somewhere to relax and enjoy the ambiance just away from the highstreet and shops, a wonderful quiet garden with flowers and fresh fruit.
