The former Augustinian Gisborough Priory, was founded in 1119 as the Priory of St Mary by Robert de Brus, an ancestor of the Scottish king, Robert the Bruce.
It's situated in the small attractive market town of Guisborough, which as you can see, has evolved a slightly different spelling.
You wouldn't think it now, but this was once one of the richest monastic foundations in England.
Now in the care of English Heritage, the ruins of Gisborough Priory are regarded as among the finest surviving examples of early Gothic architecture in England.
Unfortunately, there's not a great deal left of what once was and I read that the only reason this bit is still standing is because it was thought to be an attractive backdrop to some gardens that were added later!

Interesting story of a #women owned #garage in #Yorkshire in the 1980s (and the ladies who ran it were also #lesbian #activists). Whilst society has got marginally better for #LGBT people in the meantime, its still a shame that even today such a business remains unusual (whilst there are slightly more female #mechanics, they are still relatively rare or dependent on men as employers, and other women tend to just end up in admin roles) #automotive #cars

Three women sit in, or perch on, an old-fashioned green car outside a garage. They are all smiling at the camera. The fashion, haircuts and quality of the photograph indicate it is the 1980s.

Calling all those who signed up for the March Yan Tan Tethera Yarn Club - it's time for the big reveal!

Introducing 'Bluebell Woods', a 100g skein of 75% British 4 ply wool and 25% nylon. It was inspired by the image of the same name by @shutterspot

Included in the box is a copy of the inspiration photograph, a bluebell soap, tea, buttons and a Bluebell Woods Mini Skein Bundle.

Boxes are already on their way. Happy knitting!

Picture shows the floor of woodland carpeted in bluebells.
Picture shows a skein of yarn in shades of purple, blue and green. In front of the yarn is a photography of some bluebell woods. To the left is a mini skein bundle of yarn in shades of purple, blue and green. To the left is a box of tea, a bluebell soap and a white organza bag filled with buttons.
Picture shows an open A4 box containing a skein of yarn in shades of purple, blue and green and a mini skein bundle in similar clours. A box of tea can be seen but the rest of the box contents is obscured by the edges of the box.
Picture shows a closed A4 box tied with green ribbon.
