The Tyburn Nuns have bought the house in France where their foundress, Mother Marie Adèle Garnier, was born in 1838.
The purchase of the property in Grancey-le-Château, Burgundy, in the Archdiocese of Dijon, was completed just months after the Cause for the canonisation of Mother Marie Adèle was opened.
The nuns, whose mother house in London is sited yards from the spot where more than 100 Catholics were martyred during the Reformation, intend to install a chapel inside the house and to turn the property into a centre for pilgrimage.
