Ascot Priory
Ascot Priory is a priory in Berkshire, England, established in 1861.
Early history
The community was established by Lydia Sellon[1] in 1849 as the Society of the Most Holy Trinity, the second Anglican sisterhood, to minister to the poor in the seafaring community of Devonport, hence their popular name, the Devonport Sisters. The Society expanded rapidly, and in the 1850s absorbed London communities, including the first-established, the Sisterhood of the Holy Cross ('Park Village Community').[2]
