Join our Senior Properties Historian, Michael Carter, for a tour at the ruins of Castle Acre Priory which are among the most arresting in England. Home to a community of Cluniac monks who rejoiced in the `beauty of holiness', this tour will take in all the major buildings at the site, explaining how they functioned between the priory's foundation in the late 11th century and dissolution by Henry VIII. There'll be a chance to visit the prior's lodging and view the wall-paintings, a glimpse of the priory's visual splendour.
