Join the Earl of Cottenham Branch in welcoming Kathryn Ferry to the Ex-Services Club in East Grinstead. In 1855 John Mason Neale, Warden of Sackville College, East Grinstead, created one of the earliest orders of Anglican nuns in Britain. A decade later work began on their Gothic-style convent. This lecture tells the story of how the Sisters of St Margaret overcame prejudice against their High Church beliefs to take their nursing and education mission across the globe. Refreshments will be provided.
