		Atmospheric Cartmel Priory is perhaps one of the finest ecclesiastical buildings in the north of England.
		An Augustinian Priory, it was founded in 1189 by William Marshall, Baron of Cartmel, later created Earl of Pembroke and appointed Regent of England during the minority of King Henry III.
		The oldest parts of the priory are the chancel, transepts, the south doorway, and part of the north wall of the nave, built in what is known as the transitional style, when Norman church architecture was evolving into the Early English style.
