Preston Minster

The stunning Preston Minster is one of the city's staple buildings and examples of Preston's heritage. The venue is home to student and cultural events, and welcomes those who wish to look around its grand interior. The historical building sits on an ancient site, with the earliest documentation of a church here in 1094. The current building was built between 1853 and 1855 and features gargoyles and fine detail to feast your eyes on. Inside you can admire high beams, memorials, ornate stained glass windows, and original historical features.
