Lanercost Priory
This is another shot taken on our wee hol. This is from Lanercost Priory. Lanercost Priory is near Brampton which is a short distanc off the A69. Which is also a short distance from Carlisle. Lanercost was visited by William Wallace but it wasn’t a social visit. Now depending on which side of the border your from Mr Wallace may or may not be someone you would hold any respect for. However; Lanercost Priory wasn’t bankrupted by Mr Wallace. That was achieved by King Edward the 1st & he was supposed to be the good guy if you were from the south side.
I met two charming ladies when I was taking this shot, sadly I didn’t get there names. They walked through the shot as it was being taken. As the shutter speed was 3 seconds long they only made a ghost appearance. I took a second shot & this is the 2nd without the ghosts. I deleted the ghost image & now wish I hadn’t. It added to the shot.
One of the ladies produces a church magazine & if the lady in question would like to publish this image let me know. I can send you a low res copy free.
I must also mention Historic England, the lady at the reception was fabulous & enthusiastic. She was very helpful & well informed. She asked me if I was a Pro photographer; I answered honestly & said no. She didn’t ask me if I hoped or aspired to be.
Lanercost Priory belongs to the following groups:
European Everyday Life (add the place!) and United Kingdom Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints, Framed Prints and Posters
