Leominster Priory |
THE Benedictine Priory of Saints Peter and Paul was founded in 1123 by Henry I, as a daughter-house from his new Cluniac foundation of Reading Abbey. The east end and cloister buildings were destroyed during the Protestant Reformation, however the surviving (three!) naves preserve a wealth of medieval sculpture. The multiple naves allowed the Priory also to serve as a local parish.
