The Monastery has been designated as a Grade II listed structure. Explore this important historical landmark, stroll the cloisters, and relax in their tranquil Friary garden. You will quickly realise that The Monastery is a unique location.
The Monastery, which has been regarded as Edward Pugin’s gothic masterpiece, was deconsecrated after the Franciscans departed in 1989 and remained abandoned for several years until being salvaged from destruction by local volunteers. The structure, which focuses on conservation and restoration, provides an immediate sense of deep serenity and awe. Discover the Monastery’s enchantment for yourself.
The Monastery is highly reliant on volunteers, and it is still held by the same charity trust that rescued it over two decades ago. Profits from events and activities go back into the Trust to help with upkeep and charity programmes in the arts, health, and education. Take a tour to learn more.
