	Lanercost Priory, , Brampton, CA8 2HQ - www.statelyhomes.com
		From the relative tranquillity of Lanercost`s life as a monastic house to its involvement in the turbulent Anglo-Scottish wars of the 14th century and eventual dissolution under Henry VIII, the history of the priory is a rich and diverse one.
		That history is reflected in the varied architectural styles evident in the present parish church, where round-headed doorways and round piers, characteristic of the 12th century, contrast markedly with the slender, pointed lancet windows typical of a century later.
		After the Dissolution Lanercost was granted to the Dacres and remained home to this powerful and prosperous local family until the 18th century.
