Biographical history

1949: Working within Framlingham to establish a congregation with priest
An abbeys of the Poor Clares, Bruisyard Hall was founded by Maud, Countess of Ulster, in 1354. The Hall was rebuilt by the Hare family after the dissolution of the monasteries and incorporates a priest’s hole as they remained staunchly Roman Catholic under Elizabeth I. The owner is a direct descendant of Sir Thomas Rous who inherited the Tudor house in 1611.

Scope and content

Fr Jolly has asked Major Rous to advise the Bishop of his intent to support a priest when a mass centre is opened in Framlingham. He and his wife will find accommodation for a visiting priest either at his place or within the parish. A monthly mass at Framlingham will benefit those who cannot get to Aldeburgh or Woodbridge. Some cannot attend mass at all; children's religious education is sadly neglected. He enjoins the Bishop to provide a priest to say mass monthly at the Crown Hotel in Framlingham.
