Can monastic life at Easby Abbey teach us anything about sustainability?
Many people have stressed the need to re-assess the way we live in order to create a sustainable way of living on Earth. Join us on this volunteer-led tour, where we will be explaining how the monks went about things and how they saw things- which might give food for thought about how we live today.
