Cartmel Priory Gatehouse

Along with the church, the gatehouse is all that remains of the Augustinian Cartmel Priory.

Most of the monastic property was demolished, but the gatehouse was by that time serving as courthouse for the manor of Cartmel, so survived.

[2] It is described by Historic England as an excellent example of a medieval monastic gatehouse.

In 1923 the gatehouse became a museum, and was used for exhibitions and meetings, before being presented to the National Trust in 1946.

By 2011 it was mainly in private residential use, although the Great Room is opened to the public on several days a year.
