Tyburn Convent is a monastery situated right in the heart of London. The Convent was originally established in 1910 on the site of Tyburn Tower, where many of the Catholic martyrs were slaughtered during the English Reformation. Tyburn Convent was rebuilt in 1963, but still contains a shrine dedicated to the English Reformation Martyrs of Tyburn.

Tyburn Convent is a cloistered community of Benedictine contemplatives who live by the ancient monastic Rule of St.Benedict and is the Mother House of monasteries world-wide. The Foundress, Marie Adele Garnier made Tyburn Convent the home of the famous shrine of the English Reformation Martyrs of Tyburn.

This site is extremely high tech and aesthetically attractive. Each page features a different aspect of the nuns' daily life, including streaming video clips, interviews with some of the nuns, interactive panoramic photographs, and brief reflections on the charism of cloistered life. It is most encouraging and inspiring to see such a wonderful order of nuns.
