Mucknell Abbey

Between the sale of the house at Burford in 2008 and the completion of Mucknell Abbey in late 2010, the community lived in rented accommodation near Evesham.

The former farmhouse was unable to be redeveloped and was demolished to make way for a new community block on the south side of the courtyard.

To this end, the new abbey was built with numerous features to enable and assist sustainable living.

By summer 2024, the abbey was successfully producing several items including raspberries, cherries, strawberries, potatoes, courgettes, tomatoes and beans.

After Compline the community observe Greater Silence through the night until the end of Terce the following morning.

Corporate tea affords the community an opportunity to engage in conversation which otherwise is scarce in the monastic life.
