Located on the banks of the River Wear near Durham, Finchale Priory was founded in the 12th century as a Benedictine outpost and retreat. The skeletal stone arches and towering remains tell a story of devotion, solitude, and medieval craftsmanship, their crumbling forms stark and beautiful beneath the evening sky.
