Thorpe Prebend House Heritage Centre

Thorpe Prebend House was once home to one of the ruling clergy of Ripon Minster and later to influential men in the city. Its date of origin is obscure, but it was described as "in ruins" in 1310!

After its most recent restoration it now acts as a Heritage Centre for the Cathedral and houses some 50 exhibits which unveil the story of Ripon and the Cathedral over the centuries.

Standing in the shadow of the Cathedral, a visit to Thorpe Prebend is a perfect complement to a visit to the Cathedral itself.

Open through the summer months for independent visitors, and available all year round for school and group visits, the House can also be hired for corporate and private functions.
