Lancaster Priory
The Priory Church, Lancaster, Lancashire, England, UK.
There has been a church on the site of the Priory since 630AD. In 1094, the Norman Baron Roger de Poitou built a Benedictine Priory, dedicated to St Mary. In 1540 the priory became a parish church after Henry V111 abolished monastic institutions. The oak choir stalls dating from 1340, are the third oldest in England. Near the south west door is a replica of an Anglian Runic Cross discovered in the churchyard in 1807. The original is in the British Museum. The vibrant, window of St. Thomas of Canterbury was designed by Ashmead in 1965.
