And with its 800-year-old history, stunning architecture and fascinating heritage, Cartmel Priory gives you a feeling that will last long after you’ve left. Steeped in culture and rich with history, the Priory is found at the very heart of Cartmel village, surrounded

by picturesque English countryside, and gives a warm welcome to everyone who comes to experience it. Exploring the Priory is different for everyone. Some visitors marvel at the ancient architecture, some discover hidden mysteries within its motifs and carvings, others just sit and absorb the Priory’s peaceful atmosphere. Over the centuries the Priory has witnessed war, peace, raids and ruin, but still remains a building of greatness and enduring beauty. A story 800 years in the writing, still being written today.

Join us on Friday morning for the unique and historic unveiling of William Taylor’s grave with Professor Stephen Gill Professor Emeritus at Oxford University. After the unveiling Professor Gill will talk about William Wordsworth and his "honoured" teacher.

As Headteacher, William Taylor introduced a young Wordsworth to the world of poetry and his inspirational teaching set Wordsworth on the path to brilliance. In Wordsworth’s masterpiece, The Prelude, the poet pays tribute to the “honoured teacher of my youth” and speaks of his emotion on a visit to Cartmel Priory, his teacher’s final resting place.
