🏛️ St Margaret’s Convent, Rowden Hill, Chippenham Often called “the old nunnery”, St Margaret’s Convent is one of those buildings people recognise but rarely stop to think about. The core of the building dates from around 1765, confirmed by its datestone and Grade II listing. That places it firmly in the 18th century, with later additions and alterations made during the 19th and 20th centuries as its use changed. Despite the name, there is no evidence of a medieval nunnery building on this site

A heavenly mix of the sacred and the profane, nunsploitation films are a cinematic hothouse of pain and pleasure, where the hunger of the body dares to defy religious strictures. | MUBI UK & Ireland
