Swine, Yorkshire, England

This is the turnoff into the village of Swine, located northeast of the major English port city of Kingson upon Hull (Hull). | |
This is the current church at Swine, St. Mary's, built over the site of the Priory Church | |
Western entry door to the church. | |
Although the church is obviously a much more recent construction (18th - 19th centuries) there are many bosses and decorations which are much older, and most likely of abbatial origin. | |

Note the Window Bosses (male one side, female the other). Does this obviously more modern construction (see closeups below) reveal a consciousness or remembrance that this was initially a duplex monastery? | |
