The abbey thrived for centuries as a centre of learning until 1540 when it was destroyed by Henry VIII during the Dissolution of the Monasteries. Though the abbey church was stripped and fell into ruin, it has remained a prominent landmark on the headland for sailors ever since. More recently Whitby has gained fame as being the location where Count Dracula was washed ashore in Bram Stokers 1897 book.
