Elisabeth from Friends of Priory House and Gardens who took part in first tour on Saturday 13 June.

”The tour of the Priory House Undercroft to see the amazing restoration work that has been done was extremely interesting. Sarah Tattersall from the Morton Partnership explained the detailed research into the fabric of the Undercroft that was needed before any work was carried out. We were also shown some of the archaeological finds, with explanations by Maggie Henderson.”
