Jumping forward to modern times in 2009 the nuns completed a move from their Victorian Abbey to a new Stanbrook Abbey in Wass, Yorkshire. At this point the whole estate was put up for sale and just over a year later was purchased and converted into a luxury hotel and wedding venue. During this conversion care was taken to never lose sight of the buildings past.
This hall is now a unique and memorable venue for couples to get married in. You could almost believe that a nun could walk around a corner at any moment. The organ is still in full working order and if you were to go through the right hand archway you would find the Holy Thorn Chapel, a place that once housed the abbey's holy relics. A truly remarkable space.
