EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the grandeur and historical significance of Lanercost Priory in Cumberland, England. Captured by renowned artist CM Dixon in the 20th century, this image transports us back to a time when this magnificent priory stood as a testament to religious devotion and architectural brilliance. Founded by Robert de Vaux between 1165 and 1174, Lanercost Priory was originally built to house Augustinian Canons. What makes this structure even more remarkable is that it incorporates stones from Hadrian's Wall, with Roman inscriptions seamlessly integrated into its fabric. The facade of Lanercost Priory depicted in this photograph exudes an air of tranquility and spirituality. The intricate details of the building exterior are beautifully captured, showcasing the craftsmanship that went into its construction. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost feel the weight of history surrounding us. Lanercost Priory stands as a symbol not only of Christianity but also of Cumbria's rich heritage. It serves as a reminder that faith has endured through centuries, leaving behind tangible remnants for future generations to admire. Through CM Dixon's lens, we are given a glimpse into the past - an opportunity to appreciate both the architectural marvels created by human hands and the spiritual significance they hold. This print is not just a piece of art; it is an invitation to explore our collective history and connect with something greater than ourselves.
