2:34Now Playing"We've got some books all about building, and we've been reading those up - especially our Foreman Sister... of course, you learn a tremendous lot by making mistakes and having to do it over again!"
In the face of rising construction prices, eighteen Carmelite nuns at Presteigne in Radnorshire have decided to forgo hiring a building contractor, and instead construct a major extension to their property themselves. The "complete amateurs" are working on a new choir, sacristy and chapel buildings.
Originally broadcast 16 April, 1954.
