Abstract: |
Documentary research including Cumbria Archives, fieldwork and building assessment, written report An Augustinian priory was founded at Cartmel by William Marshall, Earl of Pembroke in c1189. Primary phase fabric from the first building campaign (c1189-1219) survives in
the choir, the crossing, Piper Choir and transepts, where architectural features are typical of the transition from Romanesque to Early Gothic/Early English. The nave, upper stage of the tower, north and south aisles, the Town Choir, great east
window and other windows are part of later gothic pre-Dissolution phases. At the Dissolution, in 1537, local people acquired the church as their parish church, which preserved interior fittings. No monastic buildings survive apart from a gatehouse (and some areas of archaeology in the village are scheduled). Important C17 fittings include the choir screens and canopies. Paley & Austin re-ordered the nave in 1867. There are knowledge gaps on the extent of monastic buildings and the location of a cloister. |
