Description

Exterior view of the north side of Selby abbey, seen from the east. The north side has buttresses topped with crenellated pinnacles and an openwork stone carving that lines the roof over each widow. In the background is the tower with a clock face underneath the uppermost row of windows. The Abbey is now known at St Mary and St Germain's Church, but was founded as the abbey in 1069 by the Benedictine Order. The abbey was dissolved in 1536.
