The Celtic Monastery. St Cuthbert was a monk at the Celtic monastery founded hereabouts by an Anglo-Saxon prince of Northumbria c.AD 660. When St Wilfrid became abbot a few years later he introduced the Roman tradition of worship and the Celtic monks departed. Ailey Hill, the wooded mound seen in the distance, became a monastic burial ground.
