The Presentation Sisters (England) Heritage centre

"We have an old building that has been refurbished as a small archive and Heritage Centre. It is a tribute to the life and ministry of the Presentation Sisters in England, and a place where we hope people will be able to come and gather, meet the Sisters and each other, and remember stories. We also keep our archives there so that people can come and do research and read up on things."
