NEW: "THE GUEST HOUSE COLLECTION" at St Augustine's Abbey, Chilworth

At St Augustine’s Abbey, Chilworth, guests often find that quiet work and reflection go hand in hand. The Abbey’s monastic guesthouse offers a space for stillness and renewal - and out of that atmosphere, a new initiative has grown: The Guest House Collection.

Each item in the collection is handmade by guests staying at the Abbey. Their work is shaped by the Benedictine rhythm of Ora et Labora - Pray and Work - and reflects the values of simplicity, peace and mindful craftsmanship.

The project supports the Abbey’s wider community of Benedictine Associates, promoting creative talent and practical skills in an environment of prayerful collaboration.

You can explore and purchase items from the collection here.
