The Community was founded by the Revd Henry Daniel Nihill and Mother Monnica Skinner in 1866 in Shoreditch, London. Living under the Rule of St Benedict the primary objective being prayer at the heart of the Church through the offering of the Divine Office and Eucharist, and through the service of hospitality, especially to care for the sick and poor as Christ Himself.
From the beginning, under the dedication of St Mary at the Cross, the vocation of the Community is to stand with Mary, the Mother of Jesus, beside those who suffer. The care given in those early days to the sick and poor and disabled children of the local area, grew and developed through the years, and continues today in Henry Nihill House in the beautiful grounds of the abbey, providing high quality care and nursing for disabled people and frail elderly people.
Edgware Abbey is seen as a haven of peace, which enfolds many visitors. All are offered Benedictine hospitality with space for rest and renewal. The small comfortable guest wing provides short stay accommodation, and a small centre for Parish Group Quiet Days and Meetings. All visitors are welcome to share in the Community’s offering of the Divine Office and Eucharist, which remains central to its life.

The Anglican Sisters of St Margaret have run this home for the past 90 years. The Nursing Home has single rooms or cubicles for the more dependent, with fully-trained nursing staff and auxiliary nurses available day and night.
In the Residential Home, everyone has single rooms although residents eat together in the dining room. There are also many comfortable sitting areas throughout the house.
St Mary's Convent is run, as far as possible, as an extended Christian family: the Sisters live on the premises. The beautiful gardens have pathways for wheelchairs and anyone is welcome to help with the gardening if they so wish. There is a minibus, used for outings and trips and many other activities take place every week. The family atmosphere is also helped by the presence of a dog, cat, budgie and fish.
There are daily services in the Chapel, which all are welcome to attend; a special place is reserved for those who are in wheelchairs. Visitors are always most welcome to come and visit or help.

St Saviour's Priory is one of the autonomous Houses which constitute the Society of St Margaret founded by John Mason Neale in 1855. Exploring contemporary ways of living the religious life, the community seeks, through a balance of prayer and ministry, to respond to some of the needs that arise in East London. The Office is four-fold and the Eucharist is offered daily. The Sisters' outreach to the local community includes: working as staff members (lay or ordained) in various parishes; supporting issues of justice and racial equality; dance workshops; complementary therapy; working with young people, the homeless and alcoholics; tutoring, individual spiritual direction and retreats. The Sisters also share their community building and resources of worship and space with individuals and groups, at low cost without profit making.
