14/190 Walls of east range
of Wetheral Priory,
east of Gatehouse

I

Part of Wall. C14, for Benedictine Priory of Wetheral. Dressed red sandstone
wall with moulded dressings. Probably originally 2 storeys but now only stands
to the top of the ground floor windows; 25 metres long. Chamfered plinth
course, with a probably ruined staircase at the south end. 2 lancet windows
with square heads: one mullioned window of 2 lights with trefoil cusped heads.
Windows and stonework match gatehouse and probably represent a total rebuilding
of the Priory. No other part of the Priory stands above ground. It has been
suggested that this could have been the east wall of the Chapter House: see,
J.H. Martindale, The Priory of Wetheral, Transactions of the Cumberland &
Westmorland, Antiquarian & Archaeological Society, vol. xxii, p.250.
