About Priory Visitor Centre
Nearly 1000 years ago, Earl Leofric and his wife Lady
Godiva had a church built here. This church was changed
into a cathedral that was so huge it could have fitted
a football pitch inside. Lots of pilgrims came to pray
at the cathedral and the shrines of the saints.
Later on the buildings were sold to a man from London
called John Hales. He sold off the beautiful stone and
decoration to make money and build houses out of.
For a long time the ruins were buried. A few years ago
they were uncovered by archaeologists (Time Team visited
twice!)
