Summary
| Description |
English: Burstall Priory, Skeffling, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The River Humber, a hundred metres or so from the bank where the unpredictable saltmarsh gives way to a vast expanse of mud. Somewhere beneath all this is the site of Burstall Priory, founded by the Albermarle family of Normandy on land granted to them by William the Conqueror. The monks here were apparently subject to many hardships including the frequent seizure of their land during hostilities between England and France. The Priory was in ruins by 1720 and the last traces of it disappeared during floods in the 1900s. Bits of the property were salvaged over the centuries, including a stone doorway which is now in Easington Church and a tomb which was moved into the church at Welwick. Burstall Lane which once connected the priory with Skeffling village is now nothing more than a public footpath along a field drain but it does give a clue to the priory's former location. |
