Our Lady and Child statue lovingly restored

25 September 2025

Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God ,pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen

Found at the rear of our Roman Catholic Benedictine m0nastery of St Augustine's Abbey, Chilworth, outside the Assisi Room, our public meeting room, visitors cannot miss this striking statue of Our Lady and Child. It is near impossible not to recite the Hail Mary when passing. Now, thanks to the dedicated love of one of our resident potential new monks, the statue has been lovingly restored.


Hail, Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death. 
Amen.
