We still all maintain the passion and enthusiasm for the Monastery πŸ™πŸ»

For over 100 years, Mary has looked out over our Bay from high up.

And you probably never even noticed......

Not many have. Sadly, when her lights went out, when the trees grew higher than the building, she was no longer a beacon for the area like she used to be.

Join us for her new journey.

Our ever-enthusiastic Linda Wilson is currently looking into the absolute base history of the Monastery area - The old map here is from the mid 1800's and shows "Quarry House"..... Our challenge is to find out if the comparison map here is spot on and the house was where the residential area is now......Or possibly, it was a bit further north west, and therefore right on the site of the Monastery, in which case does any remain!

We have so many questions to ask, and look forward to revealing the answers.

Thank you Devon Live ❀️
