Muckenhill Farm

 

Once a working farm the buildings have been sympathetically restored and developed in environmentally sustainable ways to create an eco working Anglican Monastery where forward looking monks and nuns still live their lives according to the Rule of St Benedict.  

Compare the two images and discover what is different and what is the same. Discover more about the development of the building and the life and work of the monks and nuns. 

Before the community purchased the property in 2011 a developer recognised the unique position of the farmhouse with its wonderful views to the Malverns, Bredon Hill and the distant views of the the Cotswolds.
