Individual Masses

Low Latin Mass at Milton Manor, Milton, nr. Didcot, Oxon, on Sunday 17th May at 6.00pm.

Milton Manor is a beautiful country house, which has been owned by a Catholic family (the Barretts, now the Mocklers) since 1764. The Chapel was consecrated in 1771 by Bishop Challoner, who used to be buried in the village church of St. Blaise, until his remains were transferred to Westminster Cathedral. His vestments, missal and chalice are still kept in the Chapel and will be used for the Mass itself on Sunday.

To find Milton Manor, turn off the A34 for Didcot (etc.), between Newbury and Abingdon, and follow signs for Milton. The village is very near this interchange. Turn left in the middle of the village for the Manor, by the Admiral Benbow pub. You can park in the drive, outside the front of the house.

For more information on the Mass in Milton Manor, please telephone David Joyce on 01635 874101.
