History.
The history of Eynhallow Church is mostly unknown. The church might have been part of a monastery, maybe of the Benedictine order. The church was built in the 12th century.
Because of the name of the isle it is likely that Eynhallow was an important religious centre. "Eyin-Helha" is Old Norse for "Holy Isle".
