The site is within a Conservation Area. The applicant, Allithwaite Parish Council, wishes to remove the existing structure and erect a new public lavatory on the site, comprising a unisex compartment alongside a modern ‘changing places’ accessible facility which offers a place for people with physical disability needs and their carers to address those needs in privacy and with dignity. Changing Places, Cartmel, Cumbria 2.0 SITE HISTORY AND CONTEXT Cartmel is located in the Furness peninsula, between the estuaries of the Rivers Leven and Kent, some 5km from Grange-over-Sands and 21km from the principal market town of Kendal. It was formerly in the historic county of Lancashire, and an area often referred to as ‘Lancashire beyond the sands’. Following local government reorganisation in 1974 the Furness area was incorporated into the new county of Cumbria and the second tier local government district of South Lakeland. The settlement at Cartmel is believed to date from around 677, with King Ecgfrith of Northumberland gifting the area to St Cuthbert and the monks of Lindisfarne. It was first recorded as ‘Ceartmel’ in the writings of Simeon of Durham, and also in the Pipe Rolls of 1177. It has been the location of an Augustinian priory since 1189 when William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke, with authority from Richard 1, founded and endowed the Priory. Following the Northern Rebellion in the sixteenth century the lands passed to the Duchy of Lancaster, and despite some damage during the Reformation the priory church escaped total destruction by Henry VIII’s commissioners, and the village itself continued as a trading centre, with the market cross and fish stones still surviving in The Square. In the mid nineteenth century the well- known horse racing activity became formally established in Cartmel, although it is believed that racing had been taking place here since the sixteenth century. Today the village and surrounding area form key tourist attractions in South Cumbria, with much of the village protected by a large conservation area as well as the Grade I, II* and II listings given to numerous individual buildings and other structures. The civil parish of Lower Allithwaite in which the village is located recorded a resident population of 1,831 in the 2011 census. Changing Places, Cartmel, Cumbria 3.0 HISTORIC & CULTURAL A large area in and around the village is included in the Cartmel Conservation Area which was originally designated SIGNIFICANCE by Lancashire County Council in 1969, with the agreement of North Lonsdale Rural District Council. South Lakeland District Council subsequently carried out a character appraisal of the designated area in 2008, which was approved the following year. The Cartmel Conservation Area edged in red. The yellow edging (top right) indicates the limit of the national Park Changing Places, Cartmel, Cumbria The current conservation area includes not only the two built up areas that form the settlement of Cartmel, including the Priory church, but also the immediate landscape settings in and around the village encompassing the central undeveloped areas between the two distinct parts of the village and also Cartmel Park and Park Wood to the west of the River Eea. A key feature of the village, and therefore of the Conservation Area, is the priory church, founded in 1190 as an Augustinian community and dedicated to St Mary the Virgin and St Michael. The church has been altered, improved and extended many times throughout its history, including work during the nineteenth century by EG Paley, but it has retained many fine features from the twelfth century onwards. However in addition to the Priory church the conservation area appraisal of 2008 identified a total of 69 listed buildings and structures in and around the village, including some 19 memorials and smaller features worthy of individual listing, and a further 72 unlisted buildings which it was decided still contributed in various ways to the historic character and townscape value of the whole. Changing Places, Cartmel, Cumbria 4.0 PROPOSED WORKS The applicant, Allithwaite Parish Council, wishes to remove the existing structure and erect a new public lavatory on the site, comprising a unisex compartment alongside a modern ‘changing places’ accessible facility which offers a place for people with physical disability needs and their carers to address those needs in privacy and with dignity. The brief requires that a large part of the building is dedicated to a single space complying with ‘Changing Spaces’ requirements to provide adequate toileting and changing room for an adult user and their carer, including the necessary manoeuvring space within the room and on the approach to the entrance. A continuation of the roof slope is provided to offer shelter at the entrance, with semi-enclosure provided by an open timber screen. Changing Places, Cartmel, Cumbria 5.0 IMPACT ON THE ASSET and The existing Conservation Area encompasses a wide area of the village containing closely related vernacular buildings MITIGATION which form distinct groups, individual structures (the most prominent of which is the Priory church) and significant expanses of open, undeveloped land. Despite the different character of each constituent part they all contribute to the conservation area as a whole and complement one another. Much of the value in this conservation area as opposed to building with individual ‘listing’ protection, is derived from this very contrast in appearance. The location of the existing lavatories and proposed replacement building on Ford Road is close to the south-west boundary of the designated area, and south of the closest group of listed buildings. The site location shown circled with Listed building and structures indicated by the small triangles Changing Places, Cartmel, Cumbria Around the site at Ford Road the more prominent listed buildings facing The Square have given way to less significant structures as well as various walls and other enclosures. While each of these still contribute to the character of the conservation area, the relationships between elements is looser than in the core built-up area, with key focal points evident but becoming less prominent. As can be seen from the photographs of the existing building the position of the new structure on a sharp corner of Ford Road does serve to mark its corner position, with views along the road from the east, as well as from the north and south along the western bank of the river. As a stark white painted, rendered and flat-roofed ‘box’ however the existing building does not sit comfortably alongside the adjacent walls and other features. View of existing from the east. View of existing from the north View of the existing from the south The closest listed buildings to the site are the Royal Oak public house and Ford House, both listed grade II and which front The Square to the north of the site and on the west side of the River Eea. Neither building relates directly with the application site, having various other structures such as the unlisted Ford Barn between the two. Of note is Church Bridge, also listed grade II, and from which there is a view to the south along the river towards the application site. However much of the view is dominated by attractive mature willows which edge the river, and the view is also a transient one seen as the bridge is crossed, and unlikely to be affected significantly by the proposed rebuilding. In general the Conservation Area character appraisal carried out by South Lakeland District Council in 2011 has little to say about the southern ‘leg’ of Ford Road, its principal concern being with the character of the northern stretch from Wayside and behind the properties on Devonshire Square. Changing Places, Cartmel, Cumbria Above: View east from the existing along Ford Above: View from the site along Ford Road to the Road north with the river on the left Right: View to the south from the site with the river on the right The closest building to the site is the unlisted Methodist Chapel, which was opened in 1872. This is a modest worship building which stands in isolation from the main village group but despite its proximity to the site is sufficiently large and assertive to be unaffected by the proposal. The proposal new building is designed to occupy its location but with a slated roof so that, while still being a focus at the corner site it more readily blends with its low key setting. The detailing of the walls, roof and external timber screen is constrained and simple.

In that respect it tries to live up to the dictum of Samuel Butler that 'he excels most who hits the golden mean most exactly in the middle'.

  • Priory Histor
    Cartmel – A Village History – Cartmel Priory. This Village History is part of the CPLHS Village Histories Project. It is a history of Cartmel and the Priory written by B.E. Perry for inclusion in the visitors guide for the Priory - Cartmel Priory Ancient Jewel, Living Church. It is an historical overview of the Priory and village. The visitors guide with the full transcript, accompanying time line and photographs can be obtained from the Priory Shop. 1. In the Beginning The earliest mention of Cartmel in historical records occurs almost 500 years before the foundations of Cartmel Priory were laid, and tells us that in about 680 AD the Saxon King Egfrith of Northumbria granted to St. Cuthbert, later to become Bishop of Lindisfarne, “the land which is called Cartmel and all the Britons in it”. So began the Christian era in this wild and isolated part of the country. The living conditions of the sparse, mainly farming communities in the area were difficult and within a few years they had to endure the hardship of the Viking invasions and settlement, which naturally had an effect on the nature and genealogy of the population. Under the civilizing influence of the church, however, things gradually improved and by the end of the Norman period it was a fairly peaceable community. In 1189, William Marshal founded an Augustinian Priory in Cartmel. 2. Who was William Marshal? William Marshal was the fourth son of a relatively minor landowner, who was also a hereditary marshal (a royal official, originally in charge of the king’s horses).

  • The Stall Carvings in the Church of St Mary of Charity, Faversham
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 50 1938 ( 11 ) THE STALL CARVINGS IN THE CHURCH OF ST. MARY OF CHARITY, FAVERSHAM BY G. O. DKtTOE, F.S.A. AMONG the references in the volumes of Archceologia Oantiana relating to Paversham Church there does not appear to be any mention of the stalls in the chancel and their carvings ; yet upon both misericords and elbows there are to be seen subjects of considerable interest. Enquiry into the past history of these stalls has been unproductive, but there seems a possibility that the greater part of them came from Paversham Abbey. On the suppression of the religious houses the removal of their church furniture to one or more neighbouring parish churches was usual, and it resulted in the preservation of many pieces to our time. Por instance, parts of stalls and misericords from the collegiate church of Potheringhay found homes in the neighbouring churches of Tansor, Benefield and Hemington; and the fine set in Godmanchester church may similarly have come from Ramsey Abbey. On the other hand, the stalls with their misericords of the fourteenth century at Wingham in our own county seem to have remained in the coEegiate church all through. The stalls at present in Paversham church are sixteen in number, eight on each side, and in construction do not present any special features. They have the usual arms with carved elbows and misericord seats. In 1874, when restoration work was carried out under Mr. Euan Christian's direction, the stalls were overhauled and new ones inserted. There was much patching, and it is difficult to distinguish some of the old work from the new, especially in the elbows.
