The Priory Church of St Mary, located in Bridlington’s Old Town, was initially founded as an Augustinian monastery in 1113.

Visitors can expect impressive stained glass windows, columns and appliqued pictures which detail the rich history of this truly beautiful church and medieval monastery.

In the 20th century restoration of the church included a wide range of wooden pieces carved by ‘Mousey Thompson’ of Kilburn, North Yorkshire.

Visitors might like to follow the ‘Mouse Hunt’ sheet and find them all.

The Priory also features a shop including refreshments and is dog-friendly too.

The Priory Today

The original vision of the Priory’s foundation was to promote:

worship and prayer
learning and study
hospitality

In the 21st century, the Priory aims to celebrate and promote these three strands for the glory of God and the benefit of the whole community.
