The Nun Prioress

Our gentle little Nun Prioress is the height of Simplicity. She is shown wearing a soft cobalt blue habit and pairs up particularly well in terms of size with both the Friar or the Parson. Her pretty coral Rosary beads are carefully matched with her slippers.

The Nun prioress is the only Female religious character we have included in our range of Canterbury Pilgrims.

Full well she sang a service, with a fine

Intoning through her nose, as was most seemly

And she spoke dantily in French, extremely,

After the school of Stratford-atte-Bow
