Corpus Christi Priory, Grade II listed Roman Catholic church in Miles Platting, England.

The red brick and sandstone building on Varley Street features Italian Romanesque architecture with tunnel-vaulted aisles and numerous chapels.

The Norbertine canons arrived from Belgium's Abbey of Tongerlo in 1889 and constructed Corpus Christi Basilica, which opened on November 5, 1907.

The priory functioned as the center for the Archconfraternity of the Holy Mass of Reparation for Great Britain and Ireland until its closure.

Marriage and baptismal records from 1947 to 1962 are stored at the Lancashire Record Office for genealogical research purposes.

The building transformed from a religious institution to an events venue after 2011, with USMANIA banqueting company utilizing the former church space.
