Mother Abbess with sister Colette and Mother Veronica. Nuns are allowed to receive visitors once a year. The open bars is a symbolic division. The only people allowed into the convent are maintenance men. Colettine Poor Clares are an enclosed Catholic order that observe night rising, perpetual fast and the observance of papal enclosure. They go barefoot as a sign of Gospel poverty and in witness to the transcendence of God.Much Birch, Herefordshire, England circa 1989.
