History Hotspots - Birkenhead Priory & Museum 

Welcome to 'History Hotspots' today highlighting Birkenhead Priory and Museum. The priory was established as a Benedictine Monastery around 1150 AD and today it remains one of the oldest standing buildings in the Merseyside area !!
Following the dissolution of Monasteries it closed in the year of 1536 and the resident monks were moved away. Today the site is listed as a scheduled monument with many listed buildings including the Chapter House dated to circa 1150 AD. The site is open to the public and entry to the site is free. Please see details within this short feature for contacting Birkenhead Priory and for opening times etc.
