Mount St. Bernard Abbey

This is a Cistercian Monastery operating in a quiet location in the heart of Leicestershire.  It commenced operations on the site in 1837.  The present building dates from 1844 and is a design of the noted Gothic Revival architect, A.W.N. Pugin, following a donation from Pugin’s patron, the Earl of Shrewsbury.  The community of monks is self-supporting, making products for sale in its gift shop.  It also operates a brewery and the beer produced is also sold.
