Priory Futures Project

This exciting project led by Leominster Priory will explore and shape the future of this historic site. This twelve-month project, primarily funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, offers a unique opportunity to bring together both current and new users in developing a shared, holistic vision for the Priory’s future. The ultimate aim of Priory Futures is to make the Priory more accessible, increase its usage, and ensure long-term sustainability while retaining its core identity as a place of worship.

The project will be led by a team of architects, business professionals, and community engagement specialists. Collaborating with the Parochial Church Council (PCC), the congregation, and the broader community, the team will work to envision a sustainable and vibrant future for this sacred and historically significant building.

Alongside these future-focused efforts, Priory Futures will celebrate the Priory’s rich history and cultural heritage through three distinct Heritage projects, each designed to honour and preserve the traditions of this beautiful and revered site.

The project will begin with an extensive consultation process, engaging the PCC, current users, visitors, and the wider community to gather input on how to enhance the space. Insights from the consultation phase will shape the creation of a feasibility study, a comprehensive business plan and fundraising strategy for the future of the Priory. The architects will produce a feasibility study in Spring 2025 that will include three design options for the Priory’s development. These options will be presented to the PCC for them to decide which option they feel best meets the needs of its current and future users.
