Britain's What's On Event Guide
Ellerton Priory church, churchyard and landscape
Heritage Open Day: Beautiful ancient and C19 church and lovely churchyard on a mediaeval monastic site, surrounded by a landscape of major ecological importance. Significant stained glass, modern craftsmanship, fascinating talks and truly great cakes! This delightful building by J L Pearson, one of the greatest Victorian architects, stands on the site of an unusual C13th Gilbertine Priory and incorporates intriguing ancient remains. Lovingly restored from almost complete ruin as a demonstration of fine craftsmanship, the church houses a wonderful collection of ancient and modern stained glass (much specially commissioned) and interesting fittings.
