Hitchin Priory is a charming 14th Century building, set in 19 acres of magnificent parkland nestling on the River Hiz.

Steeped in history dating back to 1317, Hitchin Priory was originally a Carmelite Monastery and was later patronised by Henry VIII and many original features still remain, including cloisters, Monks Walk with its original beams and large banqueting halls with grand fireplaces. Truly a stunning setting for your perfect wedding.
