Visit the Grade I listed Priory in the historic village of St Osyth.

The Priory is rarely open to the public but we have booked an educational visit to learn about the Medieval era, medical history and the plague.

This is an immersive and atmospheric learning experience set in the beautiful Medieval chapel at St Osyth Priory giving us the opportunity to find out more about the monks who lived there, providing medical care to their community.

 Working with herbs from the Priory Education Centre’s Medieval herb garden we will gain an understanding of the real and imagined medicinal properties of herbs as well as their preparation and use in Medieval, Tudor and modern medicine.

 We will also have chance to explore the stunning grounds of the Priory Estate, see the white deer that roam freely and learn the legend of its namesake St Osyth.

Following the workshop, we will drive to the local beach at Point Clear for tea and cake.
