| Description |
Black and white photograph of Sisters from the Carmelite Order working on their new chapel. Sisters of the Carmelite Order were from Presteigne. The ‘building nuns of Presteigne’ as they were subsequently styled by the local press, built the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption and St Thérèse. The nuns purposely generated publicity to attract funds and the enterprise also became the subject of a Pathé news film. The nuns left the convent in 1988 but the church, now listed, still functions as the local Catholic church. 1970. |
