The article describes the Parish Church of Saint Mary at Bridlington in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. Considered one of the largest surviving monastic establishments in the country, its use as the parish church for Bridlington has contributed to its survival. The ruins of the old monastery are used as a quarry for building material. The church, which is the nave of the former conventual church, is 185 feet long, 68 feet wide including the aisles and 72 feet up to the springing of the roof. Over the north aisle a steep lead roof leading the eye to the early Geometrical clerestory can be found, while the south aisle has a flat roof below which are the walls of the cloister. |
