Friends of the Priory

Last updated Thursday, 7 May, 2026

The Friends of the Priory Church Christchurch was formed in 1964 by a small number of local church members. It has now grown to include many people from all around this country and the wider world who wish to maintain a link with this historic and beautiful church.

The Society was granted Charitable Status in 1997 and aims to assist in the repair, conservation and improvement of the fabric, to support activities to preserve and beautify the church and to make gifts to benefit it.

The Friends have recently supported by providing funds towards the costs to renovate the Great Choir

Local members enjoy a series of interesting talks throughout the winter and spring, and meet socially three times a year besides. Members further afield are kept in touch by mailings in May and September.
