Trip to Belmont Abbey

Posted: 11/03/2014

Last week Year 7 pupils visited Belmont Abbey near Hereford to find out about medieval and modern monastic life. They had a tour of the monastery church, refectory and grounds and also observed the monks at midday prayer. They took part in a variety of activities in the afternoon including brass rubbing and calligraphy. The visit ended with a question and answer session where pupils could ask two of the monks about their lives and their reasons for choosing this vocation. It was a very informative and enjoyable day.
