Description	:	The Poor Clares came to Lynton in 1904 from Rennes in Brittany, when there was religious persecution in France and many convents were being closed. The nuns arrived on 8th December 1903 at the invitation of the Abbess of the Franciscan nuns in Woodchester to seek a suitable place for a new monastery to which the other sisters could come if their monastery was closed. The sisters moved into their new home on the eve of the feast of St Joseph in 1910 and the monastic enclosure was set up on 8th September in the same year.
