For those of you who may be feeling stressed or even overwhelmed during this festive season, we’d like to share a peaceful moment captured at the entrance to the Great Hall of Birkenhead Priory (1150 to 1536).

During the time of the “black monks of Birkenhead”, you’d have possibly walked through this doorway from the busy kitchens bearing food and ale to be given freely to all travellers and visitors in need. The ground level of the Great Hall would have been about four foot lower than it stands at present and guests would sleep on straw on the ground, which was only changed twice a year. I’m sure that we can imagine the creatures living in the straw and the odours but this was a different time and a free bed, food and safety was of great value to travellers.

The wall that you can see ahead of you through the arch was the rear wall of a separate building attached to the Great Hall housing the monk’s Parlour on the ground floor and the Prior’s lodgings above. Featuring the Prior’s fireplace, his beautiful window, his latrine (toilet) and private entrance to the Priory church. King Edward 1 (Longshanks) probably stayed in the Prior’s lodgings during his two visits to Birkenhead Priory in 1275 and 1277.

Wishing you all a good night from this ancient place of peace.
