EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken in 1913, captures the beauty and serenity of the Convent of Our Lady of Sion in Chepstow Villas, London. The exterior image showcases the grandeur of the red-brick building, with its arched windows and intricate stonework, nestled among the lush greenery of the gardens. The convent, founded in the late 19th century, was a place of refuge and spiritual growth for the sisters of the Society of the Sacred Heart of Mary. The interior photograph reveals the tranquil and elegant chapel, filled with natural light filtering through the stained-glass windows. The sisters would gather here for daily prayer and worship, their voices blending in harmony with the gentle hum of the organ. The simple yet ornate decorations reflect the sisters' commitment to their faith and their dedication to creating a sanctuary in the heart of bustling London. The final image showcases the convent's gardens, a haven of peace and beauty. The sisters tended to the blooming flowers and vibrant foliage, creating a sanctuary for both the sisters and the local community. The gardens were a source of inspiration for the sisters, reflecting the natural world and the divine beauty of creation. Sadly, the Convent of Our Lady of Sion is no longer in existence. It was sold in the mid-20th century and has since been transformed into smart Notting Hill Gate apartments. The building's history and the memories of the sisters who once called it home live on, however, in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to have known it in its former glory.
