Thornton Abbey and Gatehouse

Thornton Abbey & Gatehouse - Dji Mavic Pro drone - Skydronauts

Thornton Abbey's enormous and ornate fortified gatehouse is the largest and amongst the finest in England. Thornton Abbey's impressive architecture reflects the abbey's history as one of Britain's richest Augustinian abbeys.
The Abbey was a medieval abbey located close to the small North Lincolnshire village of Thornton Curtis, near Ulceby. It was founded as a priory in 1139 by William le Gros, the Earl of Yorkshire, and raised to the status of abbey in 1148.
