Background
History
Priory was first a Benedictine Priory dedicated to St. Mary until its lands were sold to the Fleetwood family at a price of £3,088. The Fleetwood family then built a mansion in its place, which became known as Penwortham Priory, and lived there until 1749. The Rawstorne family lived at the Priory from 1783 until it was demolished in 1925. The school was opened as a secondary modern in 1953, built to serve the children and families of Penwortham's local community. In 1977, the school transitioned to a reorganised comprehensive school named Penwortham Priory High School. It was this reorganisation that prompted work to start on the building of the science labs, sports hall, and Squash courts…
