- About Priory Park
Opened formally in 1932, Priory Park has a history dating back nearly a 1,000 years. The park retains many of its original features, including the remains of Dudley Priory, a scheduled ancient monument, and Priory Hall, a Grade II listed building.
A Heritage Lottery Funded restoration of the park, which was completed in 2013, brought a number of exciting new improvements to the park, including modern-day artworks by local artists and school children, modernising of recreational facilities and many other renovations.
This app is designed to be used at a companion to your visit, but can equally be enjoyed from the comfort of your own home.
