A bit of background to Worth Abbey...  

At the heart of Worth Abbey is a community of 25 Catholic monks who follow the Rule of St Benedict, a Rule written 1,500 years ago but which still offers life-giving guidance to men and women today.

The monks of Worth have created a sanctuary where the Gospel of Christ is expressed through a community life of prayer and service.
 

They take vows that involve sharing their  possessions, living together without marrying and accepting the guidance of the community. They run a school, a parish and a retreat house, as well as more fluid responses to the changing needs of church and society. Currently, these include working with young people, with life-limited children, with refugees and with the poor of Peru.

From Brighton: Follow the A23 for approximately 15 miles, leaving it at the sign marked Handcross and East Grinstead. Turn right at the mini roundabout and follow for about 5 miles the signs for East Grinstead (B2110).
