The Whitefriars are an Order of Carmelite Friars who live in an ancient priory at Aylesford, Kent. They are a lively community, who are visited by thousands of people annually - either on retreat or else for the day, when they attend Mass and often pour out their troubles to the friendly Brothers.
The Whitefriars run a guesthouse, a pottery, a tea-room and a book-shop. Their household chores are done by Spanish Carmelite nuns and they lead a cheerful bachelor life. There are eight novices in the Order, and they have formed their own private pop group.
