West window in Lanercost Priory Church, designed by Edward Burne-Jones and made by William Morris & Co
Lanercost Priory was Augustinian, founded in 1169, and dissolved in 1538. Very Early English again – all lancet windows and no tracery. Much of it fell into ruin, but the nave and north aisle were re-roofed to become the parish church. Like St Martin’s in Brampton, its interior is asymmetrical – but here not designedly so. Anthony Salvin (see Naworth – I do enjoy seeing these connections) worked on it in the 1840s and Charles Ferguson (Tullie House) in the 1870s.
George Howard (again!) commissioned Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris to work on the interior, so there are 3 stained glass windows and the dossal (woollen embroidery) on the east wall. It was interesting to note that Burne-Jones had moved away from the panel-style decoration of St Martin’s; instead he presented the angel appearing to the shepherds as a complete image. Also interesting was that Morris modified and re-used Burne-Jones’s image of St Luke from St Martin’s for Lanercost.
The rest of the priory is in ruins; I loved the shapes of the two-aisled cellarium.
