The Priory Church of St Peter and St Paul that stands in Leominster today dates from the middle of the 12th century with later additions.

A nunnery in 660 A.D. it was rebuilt in the 12th century. The unique tower has work of early Norman, Transitional, Early English, Decorated and Perpendicular periods. The reformation of 1539 led to partial destruction. Inside are many fine features including England's last used ducking stool and a beautiful 15th century chalice.

The bells of the church are very rare. There are ten now, but the back eight bells were cast by Wm Evans of Chepstow. They are the only original ring of eight bells to be cast by Evans' at the same time (1756). In 1894, 2 new bells were cast by John Warners of London.

We recommend taking cushions to events in the Priory Church where seats are mainly wooden.

An appeal continues to raise funds to repair damage to an historically significant Nicholson organ.

We need to raise £200,000.

If you can help, donation forms are available in the church or from the Church Office in Church Street.
