This book cannot be expected to please everybody, and it makes no attempt to conciliate those who prefer sentiment to truth, or who allow their reading of historical events to be distorted by present-day controversies, whether ecclesiastical or political. 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

    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).
