Altre informazioni:
Myddelton has been a Catholic stronghold in the North of England since the 16th Century when the Middletons of Myddelton Lodge sustained the Catholic faith in and around Ilkley. Since 1922 Myddelton has been the site of a retreat centre, originally based in Myddelton Lodge and run by the Cross and Passion Fathers. In the mid 80s the Lodge was sold to the Diocese of Leeds and continued to run as a retreat centre until the year of the Great Jubilee 2000 whenthe decision was taken to redevelop the retreat facilities on the Myddelton site. Myddelton Lodge itself was sold and the retreat house built by the Passionist Fathers in 1959 was demolished. In the following eighteen months a new residence and chapel were built on the site and the latter dedicated to St Mary and St Margaret Clitherow, was opened and consecrated by Bishop Konstant, on the Feast of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour, 27th June 2002. The new Retreat House, which can accommodate 44 guests, has a primary mission to the young people of the Leeds Diocese but at weekends and outside term times is available to adult groups, ecumenical groups and others who wish to take advantage of the excellent new facilities.
