| Tudor Period AD 1400-1500. The Knight’s Hospitallers established two nunneries in Somerset - one at Mynchin Buckland near Dunster and the other at Halse. These nuns were of the Augustinian order and taught the people as well as acting as nurses to the poor. The house at Mynchin Buckland has almost disappeared but the nunnery at this parish is now the Manor Farm. So much support did these nuns obtain in their charitable work that they were asked to remain when the growing the poverty of the Hospitallers was reducing their own numbers. But they had done good work a rough translation of their Latin motto being – To Reign Most Strongly Be the Servant of the Sick. F.J.Montgomery |
