The Priory appears not to have been built on the site of the Irish monastery founded by St.Aidan in 635a.d.. (The monastery site is taken to be ground occupied by the chancel of the local parish church of St.Mary.) The Priory was founded on the ground immediately to the east of the church where, late in the 7th century, the church of St.Peter stood. Significantly, several of our 'Northern Saints' were interred within this ancient church - including the famous Saint Cuthbert.
