I have a soft spot for Hild, who shared the same grandfather as Owwy IIRC. Whitby Abbey is a lovely place, even though no trace remains of Hild's abbey of Streoneshalh. I haven't been up there for a year or 2 I think so I might make the effort to have a trip up there this WGW. A few years back they did a dig at the top of the cliff by the abbey as they were concerned they were going to lose a lot of history into the sea - rightly so as during the 9 years I've been going to goth weekend that area of land has got perceptibly smaller.
