Order of St Beryl - Leaping Beryllians Grammar

Order of St Beryl - Leaping Beryllians Grammar A girls' grammar school (11 - 18) and religious order (leaping order of Trappist nuns), in Norwich. Founded by St. Beryl, daughter of St. Vitus.

The Order of St Beryl was founded in Norwich in 1469. It is unique in being a Trappist, Leaping order. Situated amongst hostile fenlands populated by poisonous snakes and forbidden by oath to take any life, human or animal, the Sisters preserved their lives by learning - with the inspiration of God, speaking through Beryl, daughter of the famed dancer, St Vitus - to leap over the snakes. Should a snake appear, up the nuns would go. Thus, the Leaping Nuns of Norwich were founded. The successful grammar school, with whom we share a site, is amongst the top 165 grammars in the UK.
