Blackfriars Priory Full Description
Blackfriars Priory is truly one of a kind. Following renovations, the beautiful historic fabric has been retained and complimented with contemporary design with features such as a full glass wall overlooking the ancient ruin. You can now experience the beauty of this scheduled monument, including the private courtyard garden, the magnificent scale of the 65ft original scissor-braced roof and the Scriptorium, the oldest and most well preserved, medieval library in Britain. Whether you are looking at a small and intimate wedding with your closest friends and family or a large scale celebration with a difference, we offer a selection of packages to suit every style and budget. Offering exclusive use, you will enjoy the whole site to yourselves for the duration of your wedding day.
