Life in our Villages

Life at Larmenier

The village has been designed around the residents.  From the close association with the Sisters of Nazareth to its setting overlooking the spectacular Ribble Valley, everything about the village is about making life easier for residents and giving you the opportunity to live life at your own pace, free from time consuming domestic chores. At the heart of the village is the beautiful octagonal chapel where daily services are held.

The core values of the Sisters still form part of the ethos of the village where you can live as you want knowing that you are never far from a warm, safe and friendly community and with all the support services you need now and as your requirements change.

Our History

The History of Blackburn

The Sisters of Nazareth first came to Blackburn in 1912 by invitation of the Bishop of Salford. They first lived in cramped circumstances in St Alban’s Place, caring for both vulnerable children and older people drawn from impoverished areas.

In 1917 the Sisters purchased a much larger property known as Beardwood Cliff and relocated from St Alban’s Place. The property, which occupies an elevated position with stunning views over the surrounding countryside, was adapted over the years to provide a convent and a care home and the name was changed to Nazareth House.

In 2007 the Sisters of Nazareth decided to adapt to the changing needs of older people by remodelling the former care home building into a retirement village named in honour of the Sr Victoire Larmenier, the founder of the Congregation.
