More about this scene
It was here in the 7th century that St Hilda founded one of the most famous monasteries of the Anglo Saxon world. Here worked Caedmon, the first recorded English Christian poet. The ruins are of the abbey that replaced the first one in the 13th century. Adjacent to the Abbey is the parish church of St Mary’s, which is reached from the harbour by a flight of 199 steps known as ‘Jacob’s Ladder’. St Mary’s was made famous in Bram Stoker’s novel ‘Dracula’.
