The Tyburn Nuns

on BBC Radio 4 FM

From the noisy cobbled streets of 19th-century Montmartre to the traffic of London's Marble Arch today, a religious community has maintained a life of Benedictine prayer and silent worship. Julie Jones visited the nuns to find out the qualities required in a young woman considering the contemplative life, and why they consider it not only attractive but also important in the modern world.
