The Sanctuary Lavender hand and skin cream is a wonderful moisturiser for the skin and applied sparingly, has a very pleasant smell of lavender. I have since purchased three more tubs , which could be given as presents to some friends.

Verified feedback on 25ml Sanctuary Organic Lemon and Aniseed Beeswax Lip Balm


Hi and thank you so much for the lip balm! It's great quality and I love the fact you do not use seed oil. I'm local and have walked past and around a little of the monastery before a long time ago .. outside at least. Would love to be able to visit and even if there would be the chance to pray there, this would be a blessing. I wish all of you well for the New Year. May the Lord bless everyone of you and may all of you be filled by Holy Spirit, in preparation for the year before us.  I trust that all are well in the monastery and as fellow brother in Christ I wish you God speed and every blessing.


Verified feedback on 50ml Sanctuary Natural Skin Cream


I bought this and some lip balms for my daughter for Christmas. She absolutely loves the product. Even more so because they are hand made using your own natural products. Thank you very much.


Verified feedback on 50ml Sanctuary Vanilla hand and skin cream

Verified feedback on The Green Scapular


Thank you so much for these wonderful gifts from Our Lady. I have used most already and I am ordering more today. And I can see the graces of conversion are beginning to work!


Verified feedback on 50ml Sanctuary Natural Skin Cream


Hello, Such a great cream. I have sensitive skin and cannot take any kind of chemical scent. It also soaks into the skin really fast and I can feel the difference. I use it mainly as a night cream because it's so rich. Love it.


Verified feedback on 50ml Sanctuary Lavender hand and skin cream


Excellent as usual. 


Verified feedback on 50ml Sanctuary Honey & Rose hand and skin cream


I love the consistency of the cream and it has helped my skin to be fed and moisturised. Has a pleasant smell and rubs into your skin smoothly with out leaving a greasy feel.  I use the Honey and Rose as I find my skin reacts very well with it. I would recommend using this cream, you will not regret the purchase. 


May I also add it was pleasant shopping from the abbey and when I received my parcels the address was written by hand in Calligraphy which I was so pleased to see and have treasured this. So much nicer than seeing a computer print out label and the service was very quick and received it by post very quickly. I give this product 10 out of 10. Thank you.


Verified feedback on 50ml Sanctuary Vanilla hand and skin cream


Fantastic as always Father!


Verified feedback on 50ml Sanctuary Lavender hand and skin cream


Fabulous cream. I bought my first pot at the Blackheath Fair and was hooked. I’m now on my 3rd pot having used it on my hands and feet. Gorgeous smell and really moisturising. 


Verified feedback on 50ml Sanctuary Honey & Rose hand and skin cream


I love this rich, yet light textured hand cream. It sinks into my very dry hands quickly, leaving them very soft. I use it on my feet too. A little goes a long way, so a pot lasts me for ages. Best wishes, & thank you for making such lovely products (your lip balm is the best I've ever used). 


Verified feedback on feedback on 25ml Sanctuary Organic Beeswax Lip Balm - Natural


As usual, I am very satisfied with your product which I have ordered for several years now. Thank you, Father John for your continued hard work.


Verified feedback on 50ml Sanctuary Lavender hand and skin cream


I have now bought so many of these gorgeous little pots. They are the best hand cream you can buy. I wouldn’t use anything else and they make great presents. 



Verified feedback on 50ml Sanctuary Natural Skin Cream


I’m absolutely delighted with the Sanctuary Natural Skin Cream which I ordered. I have had dry skin on my nose for the past few months but after only a couple of days using the cream it has disappeared and the skin is nearly back to normal. Thank you. 


Verified feedback on 50ml Sanctuary Honey & Rose hand and skin cream


I received my order so quickly so thank you. This cream smells beautiful and really works well into my skin. It leaves a lovely silky sheen and works well for my skin.

Verified feedback on Monk-made cord CHILWORTH ROSARY BEADS - red


Dear Sir / Madam, I greatly enjoy praying using the monk-made rosary provided and shipped by you. It’s been a great blessing for me and my family.


Thank you! 5 star review.


Verified feedback on Monk-made cord CHILWORTH ROSARY BEADS - black


Hello to everyone at the Monastery - I'm delighted with the knotted rosary I purchased from you recently - it's strong and well-made, and a lot bigger than expected! I like it a lot, I love a larger rosary and it doesn't tangle either - plus it arrived really quickly too. Many thanks and God bless you all!


Verified feedback on 25ml Sanctuary Organic Frankincense & Cinnamon Beeswax Lip Balm


Dear St Augustine's Abbey, I am a serial purchaser of this lip balm. I use it myself and have given as a gift. It is effective and has a beautiful delicate scent. I apply it on a daily basis and can highly recommend the product.


Verified feedback on Risen Christ Wooden Cross Icon


Thank you for your excellent service and for the beautiful and inspiring artefacts. The crosses have served as gifts for various family members. 

With thanks and with our prayers for the success of the Abbey.


Verified feedback on Bees Wax Polish 100ml


We are very happy with the beeswax polish. It has given a beautiful, soft shine to the furniture. It is pleasant and light to work with. We like that it doesn't leave a chemical smell in the room after it has been applied to the woodwork, as some commercial polishes do. Well done Chilworth on making an excellent product and selling it at a fair price. Thank you.


Verified feedback on skin creams and Chilworth Rosary Beads


Hi, I just wanted to say thank you for sending the skin creams. They arrived super-fast and they smell divine. I am so pleased I found your shop. The cream is really light and blends in so well. I also ordered rosary in blue and the detail is stunning.


Verified feedback on 50ml Sanctuary Natural Skin Cream


Skin cream and furniture polish both excellent products (furniture polish especially, for use on splendid Mouse-man oak plant stand celebrating our Ruby Wedding Anniversary). Free bonus skin cream much appreciated. Exemplary service and speedy delivery. Thank you very much! 


Verified feedback on 50ml Sanctuary Natural Skin Cream


Excellent customer service. I love this cream - a little goes a long way and my skin looks so much better for it. 


Verified feedback on 50ml Sanctuary Honey & Rose hand and skin cream


I have bought this product several times and it never disappoints. When the jar is opened, there is a lovely fragrance…a natural fragrance. The product feels silky and applies smoothly to the skin, and it is absorbed quickly leaving the skin smooth and smelling delicious it is designed for use on the hands and body, but I have used it as a facia nlight cream with good results. It seems to me that the prayer of the monks, as they prepare this product, is passed on to the buyer I love it and will continue to use it. Thank you so much for a wonderful product, prepared I am sure with prayer.


Verified feedback on 50ml Sanctuary Vanilla hand and skin cream


As always the hand and skin cream is excellent and smells lovely! It's great to use day to day and take on holiday, and is low cost for such a quality product.


Verified feedback on 50ml Sanctuary Vanilla hand and skin cream


My biggest dilemma is which skin cream I like the best! All are so just lovely. I have had them all and still can’t decide. At the moment I am using the vanilla one which is just so brilliant. Thank you.


Verified feedback on 50ml Sanctuary Lavender hand and skin cream


It is a wonderful cream for dry skin. I highly recommend it and have used it before and will use it again. I am a repeat happy customer. The whole family enjoys it.


Verified feedback on 50ml Sanctuary Honey & Rose hand and skin cream


Lovely face cream, glad I splashed out on 3 for 2 offer!


Verified feedback on St Benedict Medal


Hello, My Medals came in good condition and on time.


And I believe you are praying for my family as I requested. I am going to get more Medals for my family in the coming month. Thanks so much for your prayers and love. May the good Lord be kind unto you always. God bless you.


Verified feedback on 50ml Sanctuary Lavender hand and skin cream


I really love this skin cream. It is light and delicate and provides a good all day and/or night cream and has now replaced my previous creams. (I am almost 70 years old so I am glad to find a cream that suits an older skin but think it is great for younger pelple too. I really like the lavender scent and get a tiny hint of it every so often for the first couple of hours after I’ve put it on.  I am particularly pleased that all the ingredients are natural and I think this is so much better for my skin. I am so pleased I discovered this cream having seen the work of the monks on their television programme a year or so ago. I am really pleased to be able to support the community in some small way.  I have also got the frankincense and cinnamon lip balm which is great too. Best wishes to you all, and thank you.

Verified feedback on 50ml Sanctuary Honey & Rose hand and skin cream


My second feedback as I have had numerous orders. I just LOVE this skin cream, it blends so well into my skin. I particularly like the little tub they come in too, it is so much better than a tube. I have bought for presents to give friends who are equally thrilled with your product. 


Verified feedback on 25ml Sanctuary Organic Orange Beeswax Lip Balm


Dear All, Once again very good product and service - keep up the good work.


Verified feedback on 50ml Sanctuary Honey & Rose hand and skin cream


I am delighted with the face cream and the polish. Thank you so much for such wonderful products and for your very efficient service. 


Verified feedback on Bees Wax Polish 100ml


Excellent polish at a very good price. 


Verified feedback on 50ml Sanctuary Natural Skin Cream


Excellent quality.


Verified feedback on St Benedict Medal


Wonderful - thanks ever so much!


Verified feedback on 50ml Sanctuary Honey & Rose hand and skin cream


Yes, I am completely satisfied with the cream. That’s why I ordered three pots. In my opinion, you should change the label to read face cream rather than hand cream as it is so light and delicate. Call it light as a feather, like Hildegard of Bingham’s music.


Verified feedback on 50ml Sanctuary Honey & Rose hand and skin cream


Possibly the best skin cream ever.


Thank you for the items sent — feedback on products 


Dear Fr. John, the products I ordered from Chilworth arrived today, in no time at all from when I ordered them, and they are super. Thank you! I’m especially delighted with the small aqua/white rosary. It is beautiful, and I greatly appreciate the skill and devotion that have gone into the making of it.

Brought polish initially from Buckfast abbey, it was excellent, so I tracked the polish down to Chilworth as I came to the end of a tin. Very happy with polish, nice lustre, speedy delivery. Fair price. Totally happy with my transaction.

They smell heavenly (sorry for the pun) but they do smell very clean and fresh and I use them every day, I love the fact that you use essential oils in them as they are very uplifting and I will be coming back to purchase some more tomorrow (As it is payday) 😊

 

I have bought 3 of the Rosary’s from you the Camouflage one is in my workbag, I wear the Red, White and Blue one everyday and this one I pray the Rosary as much as I possibly can and with wearing it is a constant reminder to pray so its all good. And the third I gave to my best friend.  I am so happy that I am able to buy products from you it genuinely makes me happy. Thank you very much.

This lip balm is great, it helped my dry, chapped lips. The cost is very reasonable.


Verified feedback on 50ml Sanctuary Honey & Rose hand and skin cream


I first saw your Abbey on YouTube and found it so interesting. I decided to buy your skin cream after watching you make it, and I just love it. I have since ordered every type and I am addicted! My hands are always dry but after using your cream the skin is nourished and looking so much younger than my 74 years! I am now giving my store to friends who commented on my hands appearance so I will need to order more! 

Thank you. God be with you all.

Mary's feedback on Monk-made cord CHILWORTH ROSARY BEADS - Silver Birch (green/silver)

I was amazed with my four handmade Rosary Beads made for me. Father John couldn’t be more accommodating to my requests. 


The Rosary beads were incredibly made and mean a lot to me because of being made by a Monk. I didn’t have to wait long and was kept informed by email all the way. Thank you so much Father John and everyone who was involved. My 91 year old mother who lives in Ireland was so happy with the hard work that has gone into the Rosary Beads.

Timothy's feedback on Monk-made cord CHILWORTH ROSARY BEADS - Silver Birch (green/silver)

Hello, I’ve been asked to give my feedback which I am more than happy to do. I love all of the Chilworth products that I have bought, the rosaries have such a beautiful simplicity and it is so evident that they have been prayfully made, the consistency across everyone I have bought (for me my wife & daughter) has been perfect, I love them. I also really enjoyed the coconut hand cream that was on offer, I love the coconut scent - I don’t often use hand cream, but in these days of constant alcohol antibac this cream has literally been a God send! Thanks for all you do 🙏🏻

Karol's feedback on 25ml aniseed lip balm 
I wanted to write to thank you for the two lip balms I received. I was a bit wary of the aniseed one to be honest, but I am now absolutely addicted to it – and keep it with me, even around the house!, constantly! It is such a subtle flavour, just right, and the texture a little softer and smoother than a lot of proprietary lip balms which is perfect. Not only is it a joy to know that the proceeds from the balms goes to support the monastery, but it is also a delight to use! I shall be ordering more soon!


garet's feedback on 50ml Sanctuary Honey & Rose hand and skin cream
Thank you - I am very pleased with my purchases. The face cream has a lovely perfume; the lipsalve - I like the fact it is genuinely natural; the furniture polish I will give to a friend. I also like the simple logo and presentation. Having been inspired to order after seeing the tv programme, I was attracted by the knowledge that there is no ‘factory’ but the items are made by people in an almost domestic environment. Good people who are not driven by commercial motives but enjoy their work as part of the Benedictine way. All good wishes.

Kay's feedback on Bees Wax Polish 100ml


Thank you your polish is amazing I love it, it worked lovely on my special chair. Thank you. Many blessings to you all 


Teresa's feedback on Ceramic Celtic cross

A lovely affordable item, that now sits beautifully on the wall of my kitchen. May I also add that I bought 2 sets of knotted Rosary Beads - they mean so much more to me, knowing how they were made. I cannot remember the name of the person who made them, but please pass onto him my thanks. He is kept in our prayers when they are used.


Paddy's feedback on Monk-made cord CHILWORTH ROSARY BEADS - red


Beautiful, excellent product, loved by the three people who I gave them to as gifts. Father, I was not just impressed with the beautiful beads but also the price and the speedy service. I think you could charge more, especially now I’ve got mine !

Carol's feedback on 12 gold stamped and embossed Silent Night Christmas cards with envelopes

Thank you so much for the very prompt delivery of these very beautiful cards. I am one delighted customer!

Just a little suggestion - perhaps you could invest in some tiny stick-on address labels so that recipients would see where the cards have come from, so they'll know where to go for next year's Christmas cards. 


Angela's feedback on Monk-made cord CHILWORTH ROSARY BEADS - multi-coloured

Carol's feedback on Monk-made cord CHILWORTH ROSARY BEADS - multi-coloured

Hello, The Rosary Beads are indeed colourful and sturdy. Very creative and innovative to use the multi-coloured cord in this way. Also, the shipping was expedient and convenient - I received my package here in Canada either on or before the estimated date (can't just recall exactly when). Thanks for the follow up.


Christine's feedback on Monk-made cord CHILWORTH ROSARY BEADS - Silver Birch (green/silver)


I gave this beautiful rosary to my Father for his 93rd birthday. As a young man and father he introduced us to a love for woodlands. He also loves saying the rosary and the idea of a silver birch hand knotted rosary I think will appeal to him. I hope so!


Natalie's feedback on 25ml Sanctuary Organic Aniseed & Lemon Beeswax Lip Balm


Perfect!!!


Stephen's feedback on 50ml Sanctuary Lavender hand and skin cream


Fabulous product - very high quality!


Leon's feedback on 50ml Sanctuary Lavender hand and skin cream


This cream and lip balm are excellent quality. I do suffer from dry skin and this cream really does make a difference. The texture is very light and non-greasy which easily absorbs in to the skin. I will certainly be purchasing this again. Thank you and blessings to you all. 


Patricia's feedback on 50ml Sanctuary Honey & Rose hand and skin cream


I am very pleased with the order. Surprised it arrived so quickly. Have just started using the face cream and find it soothing and pleasantly moisturising. Full marks for service, quality and value for money. Thank you very much.


Steve's feedback on 50ml Sanctuary Coconut hand and skin cream


I have stocked up a bit on your creams, but my three daughters have taken a fancy to them so I will probably need to order more soon. The Coconut cream is my favourite and seems to work well in this hot weather which is good.
