1. Newburgh Priory: A Testament to History and Mystery Newburgh Priory, nestled in the picturesque village of Coxwold in North Yorkshire, England, stands as a captivating testament to the rich tapestry of history and intrigue that defines the region. Founded in 1145 as an Augustinian priory, this magnificent house has weathered the centuries, bearing witness to the many periods and events that have shaped its storied past. The priory's earliest incarnation was as a religious institution, housing a community of Augustinian canons who devoted themselves to prayer, study, and the care of the sick. Over the following centuries, the site underwent numerous transformations, with additions and alterations reflecting the changing social, political, and architectural trends of the time. One of the most significant chapters in Newburgh Priory's history unfolded during the English Civil War, when Oliver Cromwell, the Lord Protector of the Commonwealth, visited the priory in 1650. It was here that Cromwell chose to be buried following his death in 1658, a testament to the esteem in which he held the priory's abbot, John Denton. Despite its storied past, Newburgh Priory remains shrouded in mystery, with whispers of hauntings lingering in the air. Visitors to the priory have reported strange occurrences, adding to the allure of this enchanting house that has stood the test of time for over 875 years. Today, Newburgh Priory stands as a cherished piece of North Yorkshire's heritage, inviting visitors to explore its many periods and stories, from its founding in 1145 to its role as the final resting place of Oliver Cromwell. With its beautiful gardens, tranquil lake, and intriguing history, Newburgh Priory continues to captivate the imagination and inspire wonder in all who visit.
