Gorton Monastery

The Church and Friary of St Francis, known locally as Gorton Monastery, is a 19th-century former Franciscan friary in Gorton, Manchester, England. The Franciscans arrived in Gorton in December 1861 and built their friary between 1863 and 1867. Most of the building work was done by the friars themselves, with a brother acting as clerk of works.〔C Hartwell, M.Hyde and N. Pevsner, ''The Buildings of England. Lancashire: Manchester and the South East'', London, Yale University Press, 2004, p.372.〕 The foundation stone for the church was laid in 1866 and completed in 1872; it closed for worship in 1989.〔 It is a prominent example of High Victorian Gothic architecture,〔(www.themonastery.co.uk The History of Gorton Monastery ) Retrieved 2007-12-14〕 and has been listed with Grade II

status since 1963. It was designed by Edward Welby Pugin (1834–1875), whose father, A.W.N. Pugin, promoted the revival of Gothic as the style of architecture which was the ideal expression of Roman Catholic faith and worship in church buildings.〔Rosemary Hill. ''God's Architect: Pugin and the Building of Romantic Britain''. Allen Lane, 2007. ISBN 978-0-7139-9499-5.〕

In 1997, Gorton Monastery was placed on the World Monuments Fund Watch List of 100 Most Endangered Sites in the World alongside Pompeii, the Taj Mahal and the Valley of the Kings.〔(www.metronews.co.uk ) Retrieved 2007-12-14〕
The church and associated friary buildings underwent a £6 million restoration programme supported by funds from the Heritage Lottery Fund, English Heritage and European Regional Development Fund. The project was completed in June 2007 when the restored buildings opened as a venue for conferences, business meetings and community events.〔(North West Development Agency:Gorton Monastery's £6 million restoration complete ) Retrieved 2007-12-14〕 The building is also used for a range of concerts.
