"In A Great Tradition

Tribute to Dame Laurentia McLachlan,

Abbess of Stanbrook" #

wrote in In This House of Brede: "All of the characters
in this book are imaginary, but many of the episodes
are based on fact; some are taken from the life and
sayings of Dame Laurentia McLachlan and Sister Mary
Ann McArdle of Stanbrook Abbey."
