(now demolished). This was the St Mary's Agricultural Colony, commonly referred to locally as simply, 'The Colony' or the 'Bad Lads' Home'. In the first year there was a mutiny, then in 1864 a riot. In 1870 a boy died. Again in 1875 there was a mutiny where 60 out of 200 boys escaped. Three years later, there was another mutiny, with a break out and an officer was stabbed. It closed in 1881 but re-opened temporarily in 1884–5 to house boys when the reformatory ship, HMS Clarence, moored in the Mersey, was burnt. During its lifetime, it was calculated that a total of 1,642 boys had been admitted to the institution. All trace of the reformatory building has gone, though the Colony Reservoir, a small upland lake, remains a short distance from the site, on the Charnwood Lodge Nature Reserve (SK464152). As the name suggests, this was used to supply water to the reformatory or 'colony', and the inmates of the establishment are credited with having excavated it. A large wooden cross marks the reformatory graveyard, in which forty two people are buried - either boys or servants of the reformatory. Daughter monasteries In 1963, Mount St Bernard Abbey was able to make its own foundation in Africa: the monastery of Our Lady of Bamenda, in the Northwest Region of Cameroon, which is now an independent and flourishing abbey with a community composed mainly of African monks. Bamenda Abbey itself has recently made a foundation: the monastery of Our Lady of the Angels, in Nsugbe, Nigeria. Monos Foundation Based in a large, Victorian house built from Charnwood Forest stone, just a short distance from the abbey, the Monos Foundation is described as "a Christian organisation that through community and education seeks to foster a monastic spirit within the Church, in all its diversity, and society at large". In the nineteenth and early twentieth century this house was known as "Charnwood Tower" and was the home of Mrs Emma Frances Haydock, who was a generous benefactor to the Catholic cause locally. Mrs Haydock was of the Worsley Worswick family and was laid to rest in the secular cemetery of the abbey in 1929. In more recent years, the house has been leased for use as a public house known as The Belfry and as a residential care home, Abbey Grange. The house has since been renamed by the Monos Foundation
