Facilities

Toilets - are available in the North Porch.

Unfortunately they are not disabled-access friendly, nor are there baby-change facilities.
If baby-change is required, please ask the custos on duty (the office is on the south aisle) for the portable baby-change.

Providing new, fully accessible, toilets is part of the Priory Development Plan.

Disabled Access - is via the entrance on the North Transept - signed outside, and on the left as you face the North Porch (main) door.

Dog Friendly
- really welcome, on a lead.

When the Priory is open, someone will be on duty at all times to help with questions.
