Description:A postcard view of the workroom at St. Benedict’s Priory, Colwich. St. Benedict's was originally a house, built by Little Haywood architect Charles Trubshaw in about 1730. Trubshaw named the house Mount Pleasant. Over the years it was enlarged and eventually sold to a group of French Benedictine nuns; the order had escaped revolutionary France and settled in other homes in England before buying Mount Pleasant. Today (December 2019) the Priory is known as St. Mary's Abbey.
This postcard was photographed and published by Marshall, Keene & Co., Holborn, London and it was printed in Saxony.
