A Hard Bed to Lie On

on BBC One London

A hard bed to lie on...
...but a sweet bed to die on
An old Cistercian saying about their Order, founded nearly a thousand years ago. How far does their rule of silence remain unchanged in the middle of the twentieth century?
Malcolm Muggeridge spent three weeks with these monks of the Order at the Sancta Maria Abbey in Scotland.
