| Video Discription | New to this series? Explore the full playlist: http://bit.ly/3azFCkX In this new series in collaboration with The Nest Collective, we explore the stories behind traditional English folk songs that have connections to historic places. The imposing gothic ruins of this North Yorkshire monastery are linked to stories that span the centuries, from the legend of St Hild to Bram Stoker's Dracula. The traditional song The Whitby Lad adds another tale to Whitby's folkloric roster. The lyrics tell of a wayward boy, a thief, sentenced to life in a penal colony in Australia. Cast away to sea from the town's eastern shores, the towering arches of Whitby Abbey against the darkening sky might have been his last glimpse of English shores.
