Abstract:		 Priory Close is situated immediately west of Cartmel Parish Church, which is the only certain surviving element of Cartmel Priory, which was established in the late 12th century. The earliest part of the building is the north end, which is constructed with very thick walls and incorporates a very large projecting fireplace. This is undoubtedly medieval and might have formed a kitchen or bake house for the Priory. A second phase of slightly later but still medieval date is represented by rooms at the south end of the current building, which include an early fireplace with a pointed arch, and a large dividing wall between the two early phases. This might be a section of the inner precinct wall of the Priory and perhaps corresponds with the period of reorganisation thought to have taken place at the Priory from the late 14th century onwards. Both sections were extended to the east and west in the early 17th century, perhaps after estates were sold by the Preston family in 1610, and further renovated in the 18th century with a new Georgian interior created with panelled room, marble fireplaces, and an elaborate staircase. Minor alterations may have been carried out in the 19th century but the most recent phase of modernisation has led to the loss of original floor surfaces on the ground floor, renewal of the back stairs, and other damaging changes.
