Sisters of the Carmelite Order from Presteigne were known as 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 left the convent in 1988 but the church, now listed, still functions as the local Catholic church. 1970. |
