Description
New Llanthony Abbey: Father Ignatius's Monastery at Capel-y-ffin is a fascinating account of a unique chapter in British monastic history. Born Joseph Leycester Lyne, Father Ignatius was a charismatic figure who introduced his distinctive vision for the Anglican Church to the mid-Victorian era. Despite facing ridicule and harassment, Ignatius persevered with his mission, leaving behind an enduring legacy in the form of 'New Llanthony Abbey', a striking Gothic building on the Welsh border. This book tells the story of the abbey's history from its origins in East Anglia to its demise after the founder's death in 1908, as well as its later uses and current status. Hugh Allen brings this intriguing story up to date with information about the Father Ignatius Memorial Trust and the ongoing appeal of New Llanthony Abbey as a place of pilgrimage.
