Viewed from Dry Pit Field, the name given to the field according to the 1843 tithe map. The retreat was opened in the mid 19th century as a catholic home for the mentally ill run by the Augustinian Nuns. They still run it but as a care home these days with a recent retirement village added on the northern side. The home also comes with 250 acres of farm and parkland.
