| Lancaster Priory is situated alongside Lancaster Castle. ARoman structure existed on the site prior to others, possibly around the year 200. A Saxon church is thought to have stood on the site from the sixth century.In 1912 excavations revealed a wall beneath the present chancel area which may be from Roman times, and a small Saxon doorway has been exposed in the west wall of the present nave. |
 |
| I found the Priory to be very welcoming (as the sign states) and a very peaceful 'space' to visit. |
 |
| It is indeed an impressive structure, and one that I had to myself whilst I was there. |
 |
| There are several stained glass windows. |
 |
| A view that the choir would have. |
 |
| Plaques such as this one always fascinate me, with great historical detail. |
 |
| The organ pipes. |
 |
| The Priory is situated high above the city of Lancaster. |
