A tale that involves the Catholic wives of Protestant Kings supporting a clandestine convent at a time when it was illegal to be Catholic.

Links from the Gunpowder Plot to the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution; and to the extraordinary fortitude of the nuns who lived and worked here with occasional spells in gaol, the threat of execution and even an armed raid by militia.

Come and listen to what happened here with drinks afterwards and an opportunity to wander through our chapel, the cloisters and cloister garden, the reception room (with historical artefacts on display) and our front lawn, from which you can see evidence of the Benedictine memorial stones.

Tickets are £10.
