Scheduled monument

What is recorded here

The National Heritage List for England records Finchale Priory Benedictine cell: hermitage, monastic precinct and site of priory watermill as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Finchale Priory was a 12th-century Benedictine hermitage and later priory linked to Saint Cuthbert of Lindisfarne, with traditions of pilgrimage and holy water use in the surrounding area. The site's watermill and monastic precinct reflect its historical role in both spiritual and agricultural activity.
