the modern logo

Photographs of Fr Patten and of fifty-two Guardians of the Holy House, taken from originals in the Archives, a gallery collection of which was started in 1950. There are still over thirty more to be added here. These below are not in chronological order, except for the first seventeen, who made up the original foundation. Four of these were appointed Trustees.
Short biographies of the Guardians will be shown in due course.
