BarbTherese Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 Lovely video - just finished too quickly mid sentence.

Lumiere Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 The cape made by these monks and shown at the end of the video seems to appear in this video, worn by the Abbot.
britannia Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 This monastery was founded by the Empress Eugenie of France in exile, to keep the tombs of her husband Napoleon III and her son who dies in the zulu wars. She moved to the house, Farnborough Hill, on the other side of the railway cutting and when she died the house was taken over by the Religious of Christian Education for the school which they had founded in Farnborough when religious education was effectively banned in France. Both school and monastery (which used to supply chaplains to the school) survive, although the sisters are now few and frail.
