A Long Time Ago

A Memory of Lechlade on Thames.

Gosh, from aged 8-12 years I was here. Now 30 years later I am still friends with girls who were here. It was just awful. We got locked in rooms for 24-48 hours with just bread, water and no electricity for doing absolutely nothing. I remember being hit, ridiculed and we were not allowed to wash properly, have mirrors or watch TV. Warped. Unfortunately my local priest today remembers the nuns/priest here. It would put you off the Catholic Church.

I am so sorry to read of your horrible memories of the Convent as I had six really happy years as a day girl. I was sad to leave to go to boarding school. There was a lot of discipline but it all stood me in good stead as I grew up. Your memories sound like those dreadful establishments in Ireland where there was so much abuse. Sad.
