Nestled in the picturesque village of Charley, near Whitwick, in the heart of Leicestershire, England, lies the tranquil and historic Mount St. Bernard Abbey. This evocative photograph, taken in the 1910s, offers a captivating glimpse into the past, showcasing the abbey's impressive quadrangle during a bygone era. 3. Founded in 1835, Mount St. Bernard Abbey is a Cistercian monastery, renowned for its serene atmosphere and rich history.

The abbey church, with its striking bell tower, stands proudly at the far end, while the cloisters, refectory, and other monastic buildings line the perimeter. 6. The tranquility of the scene is further enhanced by the absence of modern distractions. The monks, dressed in their traditional habits, can be seen going about their daily routines, their lives centered around prayer, study, and work. 7.
