From the Wikipedia article
Holy Trinity Monastery, East Hendred was briefly a convent of contemplative Benedictine nuns situated in the Vale of White Horse, Oxfordshire, from 2004 to 2012, forming part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Portsmouth. In late May 2012 the community of two relocated to Howton Grove, Wormbridge, Herefordshire, where it became part of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cardiff. The community retained its dedication to the Most Holy Trinity but, following Benedictine custom, it also became known by the name of the locality to which it had moved, and therefore called Howton Grove Priory.

Background
History
Sanctioned in 2004 by Bishop Crispian Hollis, it was the first breakaway convent of Benedictine nuns to have been established in England for more than half a century. The members were originally nuns of Stanbrook Abbey, Worcester, who left without permission, but the community became an autonomous convent of diocesan right with monastic rather than papal enclosure rights.
