Community of All Hallows

Anglican Religious Communities
Origin from 1855

The Community of All Hallows is an Anglican sisterhood founded in 1855 at Ditchingham, near Bungay, Suffolk, England, by Lavinia Crosse, daughter of surgeon John Green Crosse, working with chaplain William E. Scudamore. Operating under the jurisdiction of the Church of England, its religious sisters lead a life of prayer and service, providing hospitality and spiritual direction through retreat houses at their former convent in Ditchingham and on the Isle of Mull. The community announced plans to close in 2018 and subsequently relocated from its main convent building and a satellite retreat center in Norwich.
