P. [Page] 246 The church of the monastery which was dedicated to St [Saint] Mary, appears to have been a magnificent structure. It was in the form of a cross, the remains of its choir exhibiting a beatiful specimen of the transition from the Norman to the early English style of architecture. P [Page] 314. The north-west angle of the transept was fortified by a massive square tower, which fell about 60 years ago, and is said by some old people who remember it, to have been upwards of 90 feet high. The exterior of the northern and eastern walls of the choir, which forms half of the present parish church, present inferiorly a series of Norman arches, arranged in pairs, and decorated with chiffron moulding, each arch being united to its fellow [??] by one slender circular column, surmounted by a plain unornamented capital, and separated from each succeeding pair by a projecting buttress. The upper part of the wall indicates a more advanced style of architecture, in a range of lancet- shaped windows, with massive canopies. P. [Page] 312 The other walls of the church are comparitively modern, the south one having been crested in 1662, soon after its demolition by Cromwell P [Page] 313 The situation of the cloisters, refectory, and other buildings can only be conjectured P.

OS1/5/10/27A During the reign of James IV the priory continues to be appropriated by the Homes. In 1509 ?? was placed, by the pope's authority under the abbey of Dunfermline. In November 1544 he church and tower after being seized by the English were successfully fortified against the regent Arran and in Sep 1545 the abbey was burnt to the ground by the East of Hertford. After 1595 the possessions of the priory were bestowed upon the Earl of Home and after his death in 1619 it was bestowed upon John the banished Earl of Bothwell's second son who was the last commendator of of Coldingham. Tradition says, that when the abbey was destroyed, the sonorous bell of the church was carried to Lincoln, and that it Hill loads the breezes around the city with its powerful tones.
