Lanercost Priory, Cumbria
The Augustinian Lanercost Priory lies in a beautiful Valley close to Hadrian's Wall, It suffered frequent attacks during the long Anglo-Scottish wars, once by Robert Bruce in person. The mortally sick King Edward I rested here for five months in 1306-7, shortly before his death on his final campaign. The 13th-century church survives to its full height at the east end with a dramatic triple tier of arches. The building continues as the parish church but just the north aisle has been reroofed and used.

Lake District Retrospective
I have spent some time revisiting my collected images from visits to the Lake District in Autumn and put together a Gallery for my Website. It is very interesting how much better a result is possible with the new ACR software raw compared to the 2003 software.
