The crypt of Lastingham church, North York Moors. The site of a 7th century Saxon monastery. The crypt and part of the church above were built for a new abbey founded in 1078, but abandoned within a decade because of repeated attacks by bandits! The monks moved to York. The church was completed on a smaller scale for use by the local community. -- source link
