Description
Within a year, the Benedictine monks of Prink ash, near Gloucester, expect to move into their new home. The foundation stone was laid 32 years ago, and the monks themselves worked on the foundations. Money for the new building was raised by the sale of paintings. The now building will have cells for 60 monks and 10 guest rooms. Modern kitchen and laundry equipment, lifts, showers and central hasting are included in the plans; the new Abbey will also have 8 stained glass windows, an impressive Library and well lit ref. Each day the monks attend their first service at 5 am and their last at 8 pm, before bed at 8.30 the day includes study and manual work, and the community largely supports itself by its pottery, farm and garden produce and the morning of vestments. In the new abbey, the and grilles, and the organ itself, have been made by the monks, Benedictines have been associated with Gloucester since the eleventh century and for the monks of the twentieth their new home will be the realization of a dress. The first of the new washing machines have already arrived, and are being examined with some awe.
