Retiring to a Christian community

Manormead
The new retirement home

Residents are moving into the Church of England Pensions Board's showpiece retirement home, Manormead Supported Housing at Hindhead near Haslemere in Surrey – but a number of flats are still available.

Offering superb accommodation for retired Church of England clergy, their spouses and clergy widows and widowers, the newly rebuilt Manormead – comprising 28 individual flats, chapel, library, communal lounge and dining room – combines support, including overnight emergency cover, with independent living.

Communual meals are provided in the dining room, but residents' flats have their own fully fitted kitchen and generous living space.

Complete with beautiful gardens and fully equipped for those with a disability, Manormead is becoming a thriving Christian community, with regular worship, stimulating conversation and activities, all in the comfort of an airy, modern, purpose-built scheme.

The home is to be officially opened by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, on 25 February 2008 at a special ceremony which will also be attended by the Bishop of Guildford, Rt Revd Christopher Hill.
