Lanercost Priory
Lanercost Priory was founded around 1166 by Henry
II. When completed in 1220, canons came from the priory in Norfolk,
and stayed there for some 370 years until the Dissolution of the Monasteries
in 1536. Lanercost was situated in a useful position for both the English
and Scots and the priory endured years of conflict, many times being
torched, most noticeably King David.
