In 1928, a small community of Benedictine monks journeyed from the remote Pembrokeshire island of Caldey to return to their traditional home at Prinknash.

They adopted the old manor house as their home, but dreamt that soon they would build a fine new abbey. Only four of the original Caldey monks survive, but next year they and 40 others move into a new abbey half-a-mile away. It will have cost nearly £1400,000.

This week's Look, Stranger gives a glimpse of the old monastic life at Prinknash, and the community's hopes for the future.
