Corpus Christi Priory was a Roman Catholic Premonstratensian priory in Manchester, England. Norbertine Canons Regular first came to Manchester in 1889 from the Belgian Abbey of Tongerlo and in the Miles Platting area of Manchester built Corpus Christi Basilica which they served until 2007 when mounting repair and maintenance costs forced the Basilica to be closed.^[1] Corpus Christi became an independent canonry of the Premonstratensian order in 2004 and the community now comprises ten priests and brothers. The community relocated to Chelmsford, Essex in 2008.
