Did you know Gisborough Priory was one of the very last monasteries in the entire country to close? 🏛️

It surrendered on Christmas Eve, 1539. Imagine that — Henry VIII’s commissioners at the door, and the canons handing over a place that had stood since 1119. Right at the end of a process that had swept the rest of England, our priory was still holding on.

And it was no small thing to lose. At its peak it was the fourth-richest monastery in all of Yorkshire. Not bad for our little town.

The ruins you can wander round today are the Gothic rebuild that followed a fire in 1289 — over 900 years of history still standing at the end of Church Street.

(And yes — the Priory is spelled without the “u”, even though the town has one. A quirk that catches everyone out.)

A large bumblebee sitting motionless on a cold stone in February or March is not dying. It is a queen running low on fuel between flowers. 🐝

She is the only survivor of last year’s colony. All the workers died in autumn. She hibernated alone underground for months and emerged with just enough reserves to start again from nothing. A queen resting on cold ground in early spring is not giving up — she is refuelling.

What to do:

Slide a piece of paper gently under her and move her to the nearest open flower — crocus, dandelion, hellebore, p***y willow, anything in bloom.

No flowers within reach? Place a single drop of sugar water close to her head: equal parts white sugar and warm water. Never honey — it can carry disease harmful to wild bees.

Leave her somewhere sheltered for fifteen minutes, away from wind and direct sun. If she is alive and hungry, she will extend her proboscis on her own.

Never bring her indoors. Warmth without food is lethal.

Plant early-flowering species now: crocus, snowdrop, hellebore, and p***y willow are open when queens emerge and almost nothing else is. Leave dandelions until May — they are the refuelling stations that matter most in the weeks when it counts.

One queen becomes a colony of hundreds by midsummer. The flower she lands on next is where it all begins 🌸

A little bit of history for Guisborough where the Tipsy bee is.
Hard to believe this is Guisborough!

This picture shows the original Gisborough Hall, standing beside the Priory.

The Priory was established by Robert de Bruce in 1119.

For hundreds of years, monks and locals shaped this remarkable corner of North Yorkshire.

The Hall was replaced in 1850 with the building that stands today. That has changed, but the Priory ruins still are still the same and stand as a reminder of the incredible history on our doorstep.

No need to travel miles to see incredible history 😀
