marywardplaqueyorkThe Yorkshire Society, a large group of members and corporate members, seeks to honour the achievements of distinguished people born in Yorkshire by erecting Yorkshire Rose Plaques in places with which they were associated. Up to now these plaques have celebrated famous Yorkshire men. On 31 March the Society came to the Bar Convent to set up on the front wall a plaque for Mary Ward, the first woman to be so honoured.  This fine plaque, engraved by John Shaw on blue Welsh slate, has been much admired.

These have been years of prayer and work , sharing life with the local people and the small Christian community of Asilah. And now it’s time to celebrate it!
