Mount Saint Bernard Abbey, Viewed from South

Mount Saint Bernard Abbey, Viewed from South

This property has a colourful background.  Mount St Bernard Abbey is a Roman Catholic, Trappist monastery near Coalville, Leicestershire, and founded in 1835 — the first permanent monastery to be founded in England since the Reformation and the sole Trappist house in England. The monks brew the only Trappist beer in Britain.  The Wikipedia entry for this is amazingly rich.  And the card?  Mailed in 1989 with a sort of psychedelic 19p commemorative, airmail label, and postmark over those.  Thus sayeth GPS.  Grade: 1
