Cartmel Priory Gatehouse, Cumbria

Cavendish St, Cartmel, Grange-over-sands, Cumbria

All that remains of the 12th century Augustinian Priory (apart from the church) is this gatehouse

The priory had a colourful history. It had to be defensively strengthened following a series of raids by Robert the Bruce. Then after the dissolution of the monasteries, it served as a grammar school from 1624 to 1790
