Gregory's Serverwe careered north and came to cartmel priory, founded in 1188 by the biggest bastard of all time, william marshal. it was saved from dissolution because the village argued this outrageously outsized monster building was their parish church. it's full of gorgeous intrigue
when you come to the choir though, your goddman nuts get slapped. the medieval stalls were refurbished in the 17th c with the most amazing oak carving ive probably ever seen. described as "gothic in effect" but it's more than that. so hard to photograph but the effect is heart stopping
