More about this scene
Overlooking the square is an arched gatehouse, built in the 14th century as a defence against Scottish raiders. It also served as the manorial courthouse but, during the 17th and 18th centuries housed a grammar school and later served as a general store. The gatehouse and the nearby church are all that remain of Cartmel's 12th-century Augustinian priory.

A Selection of Memories from Cartmel
For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our website to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was, prompted by the photographs in our archive. Here are some from Cartmel
Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I have lived in the pretty village of Cartmel all my life and I love the quiet, calming atmosphere we have here. Once a friend and myself used to walk through the village with a nanny goat called Nancy and her 2 kids, we'd arrive in the square and rest at the market cross with the goats playing on the "fish slabs" which caused a lot of amusement to the visitors, who in turn must have thought we were slightly mad!
