Standing close to Hadrian's Wall, this Augustinian priory was much involved in the Anglo-Scottish wars. During his last campaign in 1306-7 the mortally sick Edward I rested here for six months, before dying as he prepared to enter Scotland.

The abbey suffered terribly from Scottish raids and was finally dissolved by Henry VIII in 1537. Today its beautiful 13th-century church remains remarkably well-preserved, standing to its full height: part is now in use as the parish church.
