Concordia Scott

Sister Concordia Scott (1924 – 2014) was a Scottish sculptor and Benedictine nun, of the Minster Abbey community,[1] Minster-in-Thanet, Kent.

She gained a scholarship to the Edinburgh College of Art aged 17, but her studies were interrupted by the war.

She joined the Auxiliary Territorial Service and served in the 93rd Searchlight Regiment, the only one in the world entirely staffed by women, and was based in Wimbledon, London.

In 1954 she entered the Benedictine community in Minster Abbey,[2] Kent, taking Concordia as her name, and was professed on 22 August 1955.

She continued to sculpt, entering a piece for the Manchester Vocations Exhibition in 1959, which led to numerous commissions for sculptures in the following 40 years.
