Selby Abbey, unique in the North of England, was the first monastery to be founded in the North after the Norman Conquest and one of the few in England to have survived as a parish church.A notable feature of the abbey is the 14th century Washington Window, featuring the heraldic arms of the ancestors of George Washington, the first president of the United States. The design featuring three red stars above two red bands on a white shield is said to have been the model for the US flag, and is the model for the flag of the District of Columbia.
