The village of Tynemouth, situated about 1 mile E. of Shields, occupies a promontory at the mouth of the Tyne, jutting out into the sea and overlooking the sheltered bay called Prior's Haven, to which many visitors resort during the season for the enjoyment of sea-bathing. It is supposed to be the Penhal Crag of the ancient Britons, and has traces of a Roman fort, and the picturesque ruins of Tynemouth Priory, originally founded by Edward, the Saxon king of Northumbria, in 625, and afterwards rebuilt with stone by Oswald in the 8th century. Of this structure there are still remains, con- sisting chiefly of an arch and the eastern part of the church, which was made parochial at the Dissolution, and so continued till 1657, when, having become ruin- ous, a new parochial church was built at North Shields. Near the ruins of the priory is a lighthouse with a revolving light, and a magazine of military stores, ad- joining which at the E. end of the village is a small fort called the Spanish Battery, occupying a peninsula of rocks at the mouth of the Tyne. This fortress was defended by the Earl of Newcastle during the civil war of Charles I., but was eventually captured in 1645. In 1672 Clifford's fort was constructed, and in 1758 barracks were erected for 1,000 men, but have since been converted into dwelling-houses, which now con- stitute Percy Square.
