This window was installed in September 2006 to commemmorate the last visit of Edward I to Lanercost, when he was a guest of the priory for almost six months. It was designed and executed by Christine Boyce, one of our parishioners

The window was unveiled at a service attended by HRH Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex, the Archbishop of York, Dr John Sentamu, the Primus of Scotland, Dr Idris Jones, and the Bishop of Carlisle, Graham Dow.
