Bridlington Priory was founded around 1113 as an Augustinian monastery. Over the centuries, the Priory has known good and
bad times – as a wealthy pilgrimage centre in the middle ages, as a semi-ruin when Henry VIII destroyed the monastery, and as a flourishing parish church after Victorian restoration.

Since Mediaeval times worship has been enhanced by an unbroken musical tradition which continues to this day with the robed choir and world famous organ. Whatever funds may have been there in the past to support the Church’s daily life, in the
21st century it is the responsibility of the congregation, community and friends, with no help from Church or State.

The daily cost is over £700.

Becoming ‘A Friend of Bridlington Priory’ will support us financially and help ensure that this living example of our nation’s heritage has a viable future, where our mission of spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ will continue for generations to come.

May God bless you now and always.We hold the Friends of Bridlington Priory in our prayers.
