I JUST want to say how impressed I was by the new Norton Priory museum.

I have lived in Runcorn all my life and am ashamed to say I have never been there.

My family and I were overwhelmed when we visited this monastic site at the weekend.

I must congratulate everyone involved in the redevelopment.

It is clear to see you have preserved the past with painstaking attention to detail but at the same time embraced the future with plenty of interactive displays and hands-on material for children.

It really is Halton’s hidden gem.
