05 Aug Ascot Priory Then and Now
Ascot Priory was founded in 1860 with the aim of supporting the London hospitals by providing convalescent care in healthy surroundings. Over 150 years later, the nuns no longer provide the care, but St David’s Nursing Home and Christopher’s Care Home continue the tradition established by Priscilla Lydia Sellon all those years ago. As this illustration shows, the buildings may have expanded, and the trees grown, but residents still take great comfort from the magnificent grounds, fresh air and tranquillity.
