More about this scene
Originally built as a private house called Mount Pleasant in 1730, it was later enlarged and renamed Mount Pavilion. In 1836 it became home to a group of Benedictine nuns. Their community had fled the French Revolution in Paris in 1795 and had settled first in Dorset and then Somerset, before moving to Staffordshire.
