🚧 St Benet’s – Progress Update
Construction of the reinforced concrete base slab for the wet well is advancing. The slab will form the sump for the new pumps and also acts as a key structural element, bracing the 21-metre-long steel piles.

The rain held off for the annual outdoor service at St Benet’s Abbey on Sunday 27 July.

The only monastery in England not closed by Henry VIII but given to the Bishop of Norwich.

Each summer, as Abbot of the Abbey, the Bishop holds a service of prayer and worship.
