The main lecture room of St Bees Theological College, formerly the chancel of St Bees Priory, which had been roofless since the Dissolution. Founded in 1816, St Bees was the first independent theological college to be established for the training of Church of England ordinands. Initially a success, training over 2,600 clergy for the ministry, numbers tailed away until the college was shut in 1895. The lecture room is now a parish hall and the rehearsal room for the Priory choir.
