Title: Canonesses Regular of the Holy Sepulchre Archive

Extent: 90 metres
Held by: Durham University Library, Archives and Special Collections
Language: English with some Latin, French and Dutch
The English Community of the Canonesses Regular of the Holy Sepulchre (also referred to as the English Sepulchrines) was founded by Susan Hawley (1622-1706). Together with three others sisters including Frances Cary, S. Francis (1619-1659),
Hawley arrived in Liège to found an English house of the Canonesses in 1642, the only English branch of this international order. The Community grew steadily from its earliest days, with 22 sisters residing there as early as 1649 and Hawley elected
as the first Prioress three years later. The Community was founded with the purpose of providing a Catholic education for girls at a time when practising the Catholic faith was illegal. The school became one of the most sought-after educational
establishments of its time, particularly during the guidance of the sixth Prioress, Mary Dennett, S. Christina (1730-1781). The Community flourished in Liège for 150 years, maintaining a close connection with the Society of Jesus and the nearby
English Jesuit College. In its early years, the Community was centred around three sites within the city. Initially established in the small parish of St Hubert, it quickly moved to a larger plot in the more gentrified suburbs of the parish of
Saint-Servain. However, the building of a nearby barracks on Rue Pierreuse in 1655 made the location of the convent unsuitable so the Community was forced to relocate to a former Coquin Brothers monastery in the parish of Saint-Christophe. Following
the French Revolution, Liège became a battleground in the early 1790s, changing hands between the Imperial and Revolutionary troops several times. The Canonesses were initially able to circumvent the more extreme consequences of the military
occupations by playing on their 'Englishness' and avoiding payment of 'donations' which other religious communities were required to pay to the occupying forces. With the declaration of war by England on 1 February 1793, the situation became more
dangerous for a community of English women religious and the decision was taken to evacuate the Community. Several hundred portable wooden chests were commissioned from a local carpenter for the transportation of their library, ensuring the survival
of their books, archives and other precious items (other religious communities, such as the Jesuit English College in the city, were not so lucky). On 29 May 1794, the Community left their convent at Rue Saint-Gilles, silently processing through the
convent grounds to the procured coal barges. The Canonesses finally arrived in England on 16 August, disembarking from their sailing boats in Greenwich dressed in lay clothing to avoid attracting attention. They made their way to two separate
dwellings at Burlington Street and Dover Street which proved to be far too small for such a large community so they took up residency at the house of Lord Charles Clifford in Mayfair. Lord Charles Stourton (1752-1816) then offered them the use of
his property, Holme Hall, in the parish of Holme upon Spalding Moor in the East Riding of Yorkshire whence they moved on 23 October 1794, staying there for two years. Larger accommodation was then secured at Dean House in Wiltshire and here they
stayed for two years. In November 1798, the Revd Mother Clough proposed to the Chapter the purchase of New Hall, a former lost palace of King Henry VIII near Chelmsford in Essex. The house was purchased at a cost of £6,000, £4,000 of which was
donated by a wealthy lay Catholic benefactor, Michael McEvoy, who was brother of a Canoness, Ann McEvoy, S. Aloysia Stanislau (1768-1836). As was common with Catholic buildings during this period, the house was located far enough away from
Chelmsford to allow complete privacy for the Community, but near enough to allow them access to the relevant facilities and amenities. Following their arrival in February 1799, the Canonesses re-established the school and undertook an extensive
programme of building and repair which included the addition of a chapel and new cells for the sisters. Apart from a brief spell during the Second World War when the Community was evacuated to Newnham Paddock, near Rugby, the sisters remained at New
Hall until 2006, at which point they handed the school over to a lay trust. The sisters remain in the diocese of Brentwood, continuing to serve their local community in new ways.

Denford Park
Denford Park near Hungerford was bequeathed to the Canonesses of the Holy Sepulchre by the late wife of Sir T. Harrison-Hughes in 1939. It was requisitioned for use by the officers of the American 101st Airborne Division at the beginning of the
Second World War and returned to the Sisters in 1945. The Canonesses opened a junior preparatory school for girls at The Goodings in 1947 which was then transferred to Denford Park in 1953. In 1967, there were 150 pupils at the school, but dwindling
numbers caused the school to be amalgamated with its senior school at New Hall in Chelmsford.
