EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial shot captures the timeless beauty of Lanercost Priory, located in the picturesque county of Cumbria. The Church of St Mary and Lanercost Augustinian Priory stand proudly amidst a backdrop of lush greenery, showcasing the remarkable architectural heritage that has withstood the test of time. As sunlight dances upon its ancient stone walls, this enchanting ruin exudes an air of mystery and tranquility. The intricate details carved into each weathered surface tell stories that span centuries, whispering tales of devotion and resilience. Lanercost Priory holds a significant place in English history as one of the most well-preserved Augustinian priories in the country. Its origins can be traced back to 1166 when it was founded by Robert de Vaux for a small community of canons. Over time, it grew both in size and importance, becoming an influential religious center until its dissolution during Henry VIII's reign. Today, under the careful stewardship of English Heritage, visitors are invited to explore these hallowed grounds and immerse themselves in its rich past. Walking through these sacred ruins is like stepping back in time; one can almost hear echoes from centuries ago reverberating through its corridors. Damian Grady's skillful photography beautifully captures not only the physical grandeur but also evokes an emotional connection to this historic site. This print serves as a poignant reminder that our heritage should be cherished and preserved for generations to come.
