From the Wikipedia article
The Convent of the Epiphany, Truro, Cornwall, UK, was the home of the Community of the Epiphany (1883–2001). The founder of this community was George Wilkinson, Bishop of Truro. The sisters were involved in pastoral and educational work, the care of Truro Cathedral and St Paul's Church, and church needlework. The order was led for several decades by Mother Julian (Warrender) (1827-1911) who was an inspiration to, and close correspondent of, Ottoline Morrell.
