Services in Bolton House Chapel

Currently, services in the Bolton House Chapel are not normally open to visitors and guests. The monks are living in Bolton House temporarily during the monastery refurbishment. All services from Bolton House will be streamed to the choir in the Abbey Church, though we ask for your patience while we try to ensure that this service is running smoothly.
