Cartmel Village Society (CVS) will again be manning the National Trust-owned Grade II Medieval Gatehouse this Sunday 19th July, between 11am and 4pm. The Gatehouse with the Priory Church are the only buildings left that once belonged to the Augustinian Priory, established in Cartmel in 1189.
Look out for the masonry collection - little fragments of stonework from Cartmel Priory buildings, and the etchings made by children when it was a grammar school.
