The 15thC Priory and Parish Church of Lancaster standing by the Castle on the hill overlooking the city is built on the site of a priory which was founded in 1094.
The interior is mostly medieval but has 13 centuries of history including traces of a Saxon church including a Saxon doorway with Anglican cross fragments; 14thC choir stalls; superb tapestries; and King's Own Memorial Chapel with historical Regimental Standards and battle honours.
The present building holds Viking ornaments, crusaders' coffins and part of Jacobean 'three-decker' pulpit. In the Memorial Chapel there is probably the most complete collection of Regimental Colours in the country.
The Refectory offers light refreshments. Guided tours are available by arrangement. Open Monday - Saturday 10am-4.30pm (During winter they may be closed for lunch)
There is no admission charge, although donations are welcomed
