Cartmel Priory Church, Cartmel, Cumbria
In 2023 I had several months' worth of photos deleted from Flickr. I have absolutely no idea why, but I am trying to gradually replace them from my main computer files. This is one of them.
Cartmel Priory Church, in the Furness region of what was once Cumbria, 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.
