Queen Æthelthryth (d 679) granted Wilfrid, the Bishop of York, land on which to place his Benedictine Abbey, .Only a crypt and aspe remain of the original abbey. The current church was an Augustinian priory built between 1170 and 1250, the east end was rebuilt in 1860. St Wilfid's Chapel was added in 1996. Since the dissolution, the abbey became the parish church of Hexham, dedicated to Saint Andrew.
