The Priory Gate-House (St. Wilfrid's Gateway) This gate-house is on the site of part of Wilfrid's Great Cathedral (674-680) destroyed by the Danes in 821. It was built by the Austin Canons who completed the Priory Church (1114-1140) and has a Norman trend. The gate-house had an upper storey used as the Prior's residence. An Almonry stood beside it and here, the Hexham Canons, long noted for hospitality, used to care for the pilgrims and the poor.
