Welcome to the official website of Ampleforth Abbey

Whether you are looking for information or inspiration we hope your visit proves worthwhile today.


Our Journey

You can now view the new Ampleforth - 'Our Journey' document online.

Our Community

Here you will find information on St Benedict and his Rule, on our Patron Saints, and also a short history of the community. We explain what a vocation is, what the monastic vows mean, and what an Oblate is.

Our Work

We work in education and on parishes. We have a monastery far away in Zimbabwe and provide hospitality to visitors at home. We have orchards and a shop and serve each other in many other ways.

Our Prayer

Monks pray the Divine Office together, but also use the Scriptures in an ancient, prayerful way called Lectio Divina. Here you can also find copies of homilies, a Thought for the Week, and today's reading from the Rule.
