Images of the Priory

Snow Comes Early to the Priory (December 2010)
Exceptionally early snowfall and very cold temperatures was the feature of the weather this year, bringing much of the country to a standstill. At the same time, though, the wintry weather afforded some great pictorial opportunities. James Pearson photographed some wintry scenes near the Priory Church a week before Christmas.
To view these images, presented as a slide show, select the thumbnail image below.

An Aerial Photo of the Priory Church
Does anyone know who took this aerial photograph ?
This framed aerial photograph of the ruins has been hanging on the North
Aisle wall of the Priory Church for many a long year. No one seems to know
when it was taken or who took the photograph. It would have been taken from
an aircraft and is perhaps pre-war or just after the 1939-1945 war. Can
anyone give us more information?
