The Synod of Whitby was a seventh century Northumbrian synod where King Oswiu of Northumbria ruled that his kingdom would calculate Easter and observe the monastictonsure according to the customs of Rome, rather than the customs practised by Iona and its satellite institutions. The synod was summoned in 664 at Saint Hilda's doublemonastery of Streonshalh (Streanoeshalch), later called Whitby Abbey
Whitby was originally called Streanoehealh. It was changed after the Synod of Whitby happened there. After being destroyed and re-founded, it was re-named Whitby after that event, which is Old Norse for "white settlement."

Wilfrid, chief advocate for the Roman position, later became Bishop of Northumbria, while Colmán and the Ionan supporters who did not change their practices withdrew to Iona. Colmán was allowed to take some relics of Aidan, who had been central in establishing Christianity of the Ionan tradition in Northumbria, with him back to Iona. To replace the departing ecclesiastics, Oswiu chose mostly Irishmen who were from the parts of Ireland that kept the Roman Easter (as most of Ireland had done for some time by the 660s).http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synod_of_Whitby

You can get a bus from York to Whitby, or a train from York to Scarborough and then a bus to Whitby, or a train from York to Middlesborough and then a train to Whitby (the Esk valley line from Castleton to Whitby is very scenic)
St. Hilda is credited with performing multiple miracles, but one of the most famous ones is when she turned freshwater into saltwater to teach a disobedient monk a lesson on the importance of obedience and faith.
