* Whitby was one of the most ancient monastic houses in the north of England, founded by the abbess Hilda about A.d. 657 (the land having been granted by Oswy king of Northumberland as a nunnery by the name of Streoneshalch. After the conquest it was refounded as a monastery of Benedictine monks. The abbot reigned in 1537, and Henry Davell, who was appointed by the king to succeed him, surrendered the monastery in 1540.
