Description
The ruins of Guisborough Priory are now a peaceful garden for the North Yorks town. The priory was founded in 12th century, & was home to Augustinian monks. The large church was demolished after the reformation, but one huge gable wall still stands
The skyline of the historic market town of Guisborough is dominated by the ruined Augustinian Priory, founded in 1119 by Robert de Brus II. The east end of the priory church is an outstanding example of Gothic architecture and a reminder that this was once a very wealthy medieval monastery.

nice photo composition

i like ruins' photography in general but this is awesome

both the photo and what you shoot

although if possible i would like a more close photo of the big gate but with a bit of

the surroundings.

it will be another photo with another great effect.
