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 is being 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 is working to envision a sustainable and vibrant future for this sacred and historically significant building.
Alongside these future-focused efforts, Priory Futures is celebrating 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 began 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 are shaping the creation of a feasibility study, a comprehensive business plan and fundraising strategy for the future of the Priory.
The architects produced a feasibility study in the summer of 2025 that included three design options for the Priory’s development. The best of these options was be presented to the PCC in Autumn 2025.

The project is made possible by The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery players, we have commissioned a team of professionals to work alongside the Parochial Parish Council (PCC) to develop a shared, holistic vision for the Priory’s future.
