Description

L’abbaye de Whitby est un monastère bénédictin en ruines situé à proximité de la ville de Whitby, dans le Yorkshire du Nord sur la côte nord-est de l’Angleterre.

Il est fondé en 657 par le roi anglo-saxon de Northumbrie Oswiu sous le nom de Streoneshalh . Il confie la direction du monastère à Hilda, nièce d’Edwin, premier roi chrétien de Northumbrie. Streoneshalh signifie la Baie du Fort ou la Baie de la Tour, probablement à cause d’une ancienne construction romaine qui aurait existé sur le site. Cette explication n’a jamais été prouvée, et d’autres théories circulent, comme celle affirmant que Streoneshalh signifie le règlement du Streona, référence au poète Eadric Streona. C’est cependant fort peu probable, le poète Streona étant mort en 1017, l’appellation Streoneshalh aurait précédé sa naissance de plusieurs siècles.
