Guisborough, The Priory 1891

More about this scene
Again we still see the old font in front of the priory arch and a gravel path to the right, long since disappeared, which presumably led to the greenhouse shown in the view of 1885. Visible here are the two stone coffins which for many years have stood at the base of the arch, and also the entrances to the two stone spiral staircases which lead up to the window at the very top of the arch, across which many an intrepid Gisborian claims to have walked before the bottoms of the staircases were removed for reasons of safety. The high stone wall to the left has always afforded the priory grounds with privacy and protection; the grounds have a 'secret garden' quality, and their tranquillity and peace are in sharp contrast to the hustle and bustle of the nearby town centre. There is a panoramic view from the arch across the adjoining farmland and Applegarth towards Gisborough Hall. This view was enhanced as part of the Chaloners' landscaping in the 18th century when the tracery of the former east window was removed to afford this fine prospect.
