## About

St Mary's Church stands on the East Cliff beside the ruins of Whitby Abbey, at the head of the famous 199 steps from the old town. Founded around 1110, it is one of the few churches in England to retain a complete Georgian interior, with box pews, a three-decker pulpit and galleries. The churchyard helped inspire Bram Stoker's Dracula, written during the author's stay in Whitby in 1890. It remains the Church of England parish church of Whitby and is open to visitors daily.
