The building it occupies, Bayle Gate (akak The Bayle) was constructed in the 1100s and is a scheduled monument,[3] although not much is known about its origins. The museum contains historical artefacts "showcasing Bridlington's illustrious history through interactive exhibitions".[4] The building is Grade I listed.[1]
The word bayle is derived from the French word baille, which means "enclosure" or "ward".[citation needed]
Historyedit
Archaeological surveys that were done in the area have concluded that the original stonework of the structure dates back to the 12th century, when the building, it is thought, served as a gatehouse to a wooden castle built by William le Gros in 1143, although much remains unknown about the building's history before the early 14th century.[4] In the 14th century the Bayle Gate was converted into a gatehouse to Bridlington Priory.[5] The gatehouse housed a porter (who collected tolls for entrance to the priory markets) and an almoner (who distributed food and ale to the poor of Bridlington).
