Cartmel and the Priory Church, Cumbria
Cartmel Priory Church is recognised as being the finest church building in north-west England. The Grade I-listed building was largely completed by 1250, and then survived the destruction in the Reformation Period of the 1530s because local people protested that it was their only available means of worship. The church has undergone many changes over the years, including the replacement of smaller windows by the vast east window in the 1400s. Uniquely, the tower sits at an angle to the body of the church.
