Tynemouth Priory and Castle — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Three crowns still appear on the badge of North Tyneside because three kings lay buried at Tynemouth: Oswine, Osred II and Malcolm III. The priory rose and fell repeatedly, raided by Vikings in 875, destroyed during the Harrying of the North, then refounded under St Albans Abbey. Its shrine drew pilgrims to the promontory, while castle walls and towers watched the River Tyne, making the place both a house of prayer and a weapon against whoever came by sea.

Tynemouth Priory and Castle is shown as a castle on the public map of North Tyneside. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.

Tynemouth Priory and Castle was originally built as a priory in the 11th century by the Norman order of St. Augustine, later becoming a castle in the 14th century under King Edward III. It is important as a historic defensive and religious site, offering insight into medieval North East England's strategic and ecclesiastical history.
