Norton Priory Museum & Gardens is Europe's most excavated monastic site, a scheduled monument, and the medieval Undercroft is a Grade 1 listed building. Tucked away at the end of a business park, we are not visible from the road and consider ourselves one of the North West's best kept secrets. Discover 900 years of stories at our unique site which has been home to a medieval Priory, an Abbey, a Tudor house and a Georgian Mansion.
Say hello to our 14th century St. Christopher statue and explore the ruins of the medieval priory complex, before discovering the story of our past in our two exhibition galleries. You'll see the archaeological finds from the digs held at the site and take a trip through time as you walk through the Victorian porch and medieval porch.
