V2: Sisters of Nazareth

The Sisters of Nazareth are the religious order with the longest connections to the Cathedral parish.  Established in 1899, to care for the poor, they moved into their current home in 1902, moving from Dalton Square in the centre of Lancaster.  For a fascinating account of those early days, see the post in Lancaster Cathedral's 150th Anniversary Billington's Blog.
