Lanercost Priory was founded in 1166 to house Augustinian Canons. It is situated in Cumbria, England.
It was subject to raids and wars, since the border with Scotland was about 15 miles to the north. It suffered a crippling economic burden when Edward I was resident there for an extended period.
It was dissolved in 1538 by Henry VIII. It still functions as a parish church.
