Norton Priory Museum and Gardens

Saturday 7th June. 11am                                                                                                                                                              Meet in the cafe at Norton Priory for a revisit at this wonderful museum and garden venue. The Museum spans nine hundred years of history and is the most excavated monastic site in Europe. The museum opened in August 2016 following a major Heritage Lottery Fund redevelopment project and displays thousands of objects from Tudor shoes to the incredible medieval statue of St Christopher. Explore the 12th Century under croft building and priory ruins, then venture further into the surrounding woodland to discover secret summer houses and stream glades. The beautiful two-and-a-half-acre Georgian walled garden is a best kept secret with fruit trees, a herb garden and stunning rose walk to enjoy. Home to the National Collection of Quince, it is surrounded by a pear orchard, wildflower meadow and woodland. The museum has a visitor car park, café, toilets, including an accessible toilet, baby changing facilities, a lift, and wheelchairs available to borrow. Norton Priory provides free car parking for visitors. SAT NAV: Tudor Road, WA7 1SX or WA7 1BD
