CHAIR'S REPORT
2023124 has been a year of change and challenges for Norton Priory, including an
exciting, expanding events programme thanks to the museum's appointment as an Arts
Council National Portfolio Organisation.
In January 2024, as part of the NPO programming, Luke Jerram's Gaia quite literally
brought the world to Norton Priory, as the museum welcomed over 6,000 visitors,
traditionally one of the quietest months of the calendar, to view the giant rotating
Earth. Gaia was accompanied by a full events programme and attracted both regular
supporters and first-time visitors to the museum.
The restored Flemish Collectors Cabinet has now also been installed in the main
ground floor gallery and makes an impressive addition to the museum displays.
In temis of challenges, visitor revenue was badly affected by a major local road closure
for several months over the peak summer season, due to the new Garden Village
housing development.
Increased utility costs and a tripling of the electricity bill also added greatly to budget
pressures for the year.
At the AGM in December 2023, long-standing chair of the trustees, Paul Mathews stood
down after many years, service. The Trust would like to record its grateful thanks to him
for all his support.
The Trust would like to put on record its appreciation for all the excellent work by the
Museum's CEO, staff, trustees and enthusiastic volunteers - a great team effort which
ensures Norton Priory continues to thrive as a valued museum and visitor centre.
The Trust continues to benefit from a wide range of partnerships including Halton
Borough Council, Arts Council England, National Heritage Lottery Fund, Historic
England, The Art Fund and other funders.
During 2024125, we look forward to a second year of NPO activities and other positive
developments around the 42-acre estate.

Our purposes and activities
The objects of the Company as set out in the Articles of Association are to preserve,
restore and improve the buildings, features, objects and gardens on the historic site of
Norton Priory in Runcorn and to operate a museum interpreting the site and its history
for the benefit of everyone, both now and in the future.
The above is encapsulated in the Trust's mission statement.. 'To conserve, champion
and celebrate the heritage, landscapes and collections of Norton Priory for present and
future generations,
The strategies employed to achieve the charity's aims and objectives are to..
Provide first class museum and horticultural displays to engage new and diverse
audiences,.
Provide a creative and busy programme of events and changing displays to
attract repeat visits and to broaden our appeal., and
Provide an excellent education programme designed to engage as many schools
and community groups as possible, including a special focus on people from
areas of high deprivation and those with disabilities.
Putting these strategies into action, the Trust has three major areas of activity which
comprise of:
1. The museum building and its collection.,
2. The gardens and grounds,. and
3. The community engagement and events programme.
In shaping the objectives, the Trustees have considered the Charity
Commission's guidance on public benefit, including the guidance 'public benefit:
running a charity (PB2)'.
The Trust aims to provide the broadest access to and engagement with the collections,
gardens and archaeological site. All charitable activities, including the education and
events programme are aimed at ensuring that the widest possible range of people are
able to enjoy and learn from Norton Priory's resources and facilities.
A well-established volunteer programme, provides skills development and social
engagement opportunities at Norton Priory to a wide range of, mainly, local people.
Our collection and site
Norton Priory is recognised as Europe's most excavated medieval monastic site and
includes a Grade I listed 12th century Undercroft, which is integrated into the museum
building. The Priory ruins, collection of over 200,000 artefacts, plus the gardens and
grounds enable us to tell the story of nearly 900 years of history from the founding of the
Augustinian Priory in 1134, its upgrading to mitred abbey status in 1391, its dissolution
in 1536, incorporation in a 16th Century Tudor house and then an 18th Century Georgian

house, through to the continuing excavations begun in 1971. Areas of the Scheduled
Monument continue to be explored, as funding permits.
Our learning and outreach programmes
The learning programme continues to develop and works with both formal and infomial
education providers. Learning sessions for children and young people are curriculum
linked and regularly evaluated.
The sessions cater for a broad range of ages and abilities and provide the bedrock of
Norton Priory's learning programme. This is complemented by adult learning
workshops which are based around traditional skills. The Trust continues to work with a
range of other partners, including NHS England, The Bluecoat in Liverpool and
independent providers to deliver a broad range of inclusive learning and development
opportunities. Outreach events are delivered at a range of partner buildings and
schools
The team delivers learning sessions and workshops which draw on Norton Priory's
heritage and natural resources and are supported by a range of talented volunteers.
The development and management of the volunteering programme at Norton Priory is
also part of the learning team's remit.
Our gardens and grounds
The Trust manages an estate of 42 acres, which includes the excavated remains of the
medieval monastic complex, woodland, orchards, meadows and the Walled Garden.
Much of the area around the museum building is classified as a Scheduled Monument,
whilst the Georgian Walled Garden holds the National Collection of Tree Quince.
The Head Gardener has overall responsibility for the grounds of the estate, with a
special focus on the Walled Garden. He is supported by a range of regular volunteers
who assist in the maintenance on the Walled Garden.
The Ranger advises on providing the best habitats for the diverse fauna that inhabits
the area, with a special focus on pollinating insects and protected species. The
Ranger's role also includes educates members of the public in environmental and
wildlife issues through outreach and onsite formal and informal learning sessions.
Our Volunteers
The Trust is grateful for the support of a dedicated team of volunteers of whom around
50 are active, having volunteered for the Trust at least once during the year. They
assist with the presentation of the grounds and gardens, improving the visitor
experience and help to deliver leaming sessions.
Our Staff
The Trust has a small staff team, headed by the CEO. The team work together to
increase engagement, improve the visitor offer, to build sustainability for the site, and to
ensure the site continues to be looked after and developed.

Achievements and Performance
The work of the Trust is focussed on delivery of public benefit, providing access to the
museum and the gardens and grounds which surround it.
Visitors
The site welcomed 36,269 visitors during 2023124, which represented an increase of
64 % over the previous year. Visitor numbers remained below pre-pandemic levels
during the year, but the sizeable increase in numbers is evidenTr of growing visitor
confidence and the benefits of a varied programme of quality events.
Opening hours remained set at 5 days per week, with an additional weekday during
school holidays. The site was closed on Saturdays when a wedding was booked
between April and September. Weekday closed days during termtime were used to
support school visits and other group visits.
Collections & Site
A series of workshops took place as part of an Arts Council England project to better
understand the collections, including new finds from the previous year's archaeological
excavations.
The restored Flemish collector's cabinet and the George11 side table were placed on
permanent public display in the main museum ground floor gallery. Unveiled in
September 2023, the cabinet has become a key part of the narrative of the Brooke
family mansion which formerly stood on the site, alongside the Gainsborough painting.
Learning and Outreach
Learning visitor numbers continued to increase, with a today of 5,015 attendees to
learning sessions during the period. Representing a 790/0 increase over the previous
year, this was ahead of expectations: in a year in which cost of coach travel continued
to impact on out of school visits, the increase was especially noteworthy.
The increase in the number of learning attendees is felt to be linked to a strong offer of
sessions, combined with the ability to offer indoor and outdoor learning experiences. An
increase in the number of blended visits, combining more than one curriculum area was
also noted. Evaluation from the sessions was consistently high across the year.
Gardens and Gmunds
The Rose Walk was formerly opened in September 2023 and visitor feedback from the
gardens remains high. Path resurfacing work completed in the previous year was
complemented by resurfacing of the main museum car park in preparation for the winter
season.
Work on a new apple orchard continued, which will provide a comprehensive collection
of varieties of apples, whilst also boosting the museum's environmental and biodiversity
credentials.

Financial review
2023124 presented a number of challenges. An increase in electricity costs was
expected, but the rate of increase was higher than had been expected. A further
challenge came from a 3-month road closure, the result of new access roads being
constructed for a major residential development.
These factors, combined with the ongoing 'cost of living crisis, negatively impacted the
Trust's trading performance during the year. The road closure affected summer trading,
including during the vital August period, whilst the increases in electricity costs took
effect in October, at a time when electricity use for the Trust naturally peaks. Further
challenges were presented by larger than expected building maintenance costs which
occurred from October 2023 into January 2024.
Against these challenges. 2023124 also brought positivity, with the Trust welcoming its
first year of National Portfolio Organisation funding from Arts Council England. This
provided a £136,500 investment in the activities of Norton Priory Museum and Gardens.
There was a negative Net Income figure for the year of £21 k which compares with a
figure of £157k in 2022123.
The Trust's General Reserve decreased by £31 k to £215k.
Principal Funding Resources
The principal funding source of the Trust was an operating grant of £174k from Halton
Borough Council towards the museum's running costs for the year, which covered 23 %
of the Trust's 2023124 revenue expenditure. This grant is subject to annual approval by
the Council.
The Trust seeks further funding wherever possible to extend its range of activities and,
in addition to the first year's NPO grant of £136.5k, received other grants totalling £58k.
Admission charges, including day admissions. events, membership and gift aid thereon,
totalled £182k compared to £127k in the previous year as the Museum continued to
recover from the impact of Covid19. Shop sales were £38k, compared to £24k in the
previous year.
Investment Powers and Policy
Under its Articles of Association, the Trust may invest any monies not immediately
required for its purposes in such investments, securities or property as may be thought
fit. Currently such monies are held in a Deposit Account.
Reserves Policy
The Board has reviewed the level of Trust reserves required to provide an adequate
working balance, to fund unforeseen emergency repairs to its property, and to allow the

Page 6
THE NORTON PRIORY MUSEUM TRUST LTD
{Limited by Guarantee)
TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Trust to scale down its activities on a manageable basis in the event that the Council
grant was terminated or significantly reduced.
The Board considers that the ideal level of reserves would be three months,
expenditure, i.e. £146k based on its 2023124 annual operating costs. As at 31 sl March
2024. the free reserves (i.e. after excluding the Furniture & Equipment reserves of
£150K which represent tangible fixed assets and the Restricted funds of £60k), totalled
£215k. The additional £115k will be utilised to continue to support the Trust's operating
costs, including increased utility costs in 2024125.
There was a surplus on the Pension Fund as at 31 March 2024 as calculated by the
Actuary in accordance with FRS102 of £975k, compared with a surplus at 31 March
2022 of £829k. The main reason for the movement was a positive change in the
financial assumptions compared to the previous year. The Trust's contributions to the
Pension Fund are assessed every three years with the latest review being at March
2022. This is based on a Funding valuation which is different to an Accounting
valuation.
Going Concern Basis
The financial pressures facing the Trust, and indeed the wider cultural sector, are
expected to continue into the coming years. As a result, the Trust is placing additional
focus on growing earned income, via increased advertising and a stronger events
programme. Weddings have also been identified as a key area of continued growth.
As in the previous year, the Trustees will consider investment expenditure where
opportunities arise. This may, for example, result in investing in capital spend to reduce
operating costs or to increase potential income.
This approach, combined with a reasonable expectation that grant support from Halton
Borough Council will continue into 2024125, will ensure that the site can continue to be
operational for the foreseeable future.
The Trustees are aware that the ongoing challenges facing the sector, which are
expected to continue to negatively affect the short-term financial position of Norton
Priory, can be managed by the use of free reserves.
Expectations for 2024125 are that electricity costs will reduce from October 2024, whilst
it is hoped building costs will become more predictable. A new artistic directorship
model is being introduced for events programming, whilst wedding and corporate
business is viewed as a growth area. Combined with increased marketing, this will help
increase earned income, supported by National Portfolio Organisation funding from Arts
Council England. As a result, the going concern basis has been adopted in preparing
the Trust's financial statements.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies of the Trust are set out below. These policies have been
applied consistently throughout the year.
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Statement
of Recommended Practice (SORP) (FRS102) second edition issued in October 2019, the
Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland {FRS 102)
(effective 1 January 2015>, and the Companies Act 2006.
The Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless
otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).
Income recognition
Items of income are recognised and included in the accounts when all of the following
criteria are met..
the charity has entitlement to the funds.
any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met or are
fully within the control of the charity-
there is sufficient certainty that receipt of the income is considered probable; and
the amount can be measured reliably.
Income received in advance of weddings or group bookings is deferred until the criteria for
income recognition are met.
For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either.. the charity is
aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has
been made by the executor{s) to the Trust that a distribution will be made, or when a
distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only
considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been
notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified
to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income
recognition have not been met. then the legacy is a treated as a contingent asset and
disclosed if material.
Expenditure recognition
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal orconstructive obligation to make a payment
to a third party, it is probable that settlementwill be required and the amount ofthe obligation
can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings-
Costs of raising funds comprise costs associated with the shop, marketing and
publicity costs, and their associated support costs.
Charitable activities comprise those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of
its activities and services. It includes both costs that can be directly attributed to
such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
All costs are allocated between activities on a basis consistent with the use of the resources.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Allocation of support costs
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly
undertake charitable activities. They include finance and administrative costs,
communication costs and governance costs which support the Trust's activities. These
costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable
activities. The bases on which support costs have been allocated are set out in the notes
to the accounts.
Pensions
The Trust contributes to a defined benefit pension scheme, with pension contributions being
paid to the Cheshire Pension Fund in accordance with the recommendations of the actuary.
The scheme is funded, with the assets of the scheme administered by trustees appointed
by the Fund and held separately from those of the Trust. The Trust fully adopted FRS17
for the accounting treatment of retirement benefits for the first time in the year ended 31
March 2006. The effect of this change was to recognise pension scheme deficits and
surpluses in the Trust's balance sheet. The difference between current service costs and
the Trust contributions plus net return on assets is charged or credited to expenditure in the
Statement of Financial Activities.
Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities after Net
Income/Expenditure for the year. The resulting defined pension scheme surplus or liability
is stated in the Trust accounls after Net Current Assets on the Balance Sheet.
Actuarial valuations of the pension scheme are obtained triennially and updated at 31
March each year.
st
Fixed Assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Only individual
items costing in excess of £2,500 are normally capitalised.
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual
value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows..
Motor Vehicles
10 years
Furniture and Equipment 5 - 30 years depending on life of asset
th
No depreciation is provided on the 16 C Flemish cabinet as Trustees consider that it will
hold its value.
Where fixed assets are funded by grants or donations and capitalised in accordance with
the Trust's accounting policies, the corresponding gain is recognised as income in the
Statement of Financial Activities in accordance with FRS102. A designated reserve is also
created against which the annual depreciation charges are transferred.
Costs incurred on the Museum reconstruction (with the exception of furniture & equipment)
have not been capitalised as almost all the expenditure was incurred by the freeholder,
Halton Council, and the property is included in their accounts.
Current Assets
Stock is represented by non-consumable and consumable items for resale which are stated
at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making allowance for slow moving and
obsolete items.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade
discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid after taking account of any
trade discounts due.
The Trustees have the power to invest in such assets as they see fit subject nevertheless
to such conditions and consents as may for the time being be imposed or required by law.
Surplus funds have been deposited with Banks and Building Societies in accordance with
the Trust's approved investment policy.
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting
from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the
amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and
provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade
discounts due.
Fund structure
The Trust's funds are split as follows..
Unrestricted funds- these funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the
purposes of charity. They include the General Reserve which provides for future working
capital and helps to protect the Trust against any unexpected expenditure.
Designated funds - these are unrestricted funds of the charity which the Trustees have
decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose.
Restricted funds- these are donations or grants which the donor has specified are to be
solely used for particular areas of the Trust's work, or where funds have been raised by the
Trustees for a particular purpose.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the
financial statements.
