Plans to repair and restore Lancaster Priory have been revealed and the historic church is now placed on the Heritage at Risk Register. The Grade 1 listed church is a new entry on Historic England’s Register which describes its condition as poor and in immediate risk of further deterioration. A series of events is planned to raise awareness of this during May-July 2026. A series of summer afternoon concert events will bring a community of people together in the latest fundraising chapter of Lancaster Priory’s restoration story. Thank you for booking this event. Lancaster Priory appreciates your support.
