Who was Irene Prestwich?

1884 - 1974Irene Prestwich gave an incredible legacy to humanity by having the courage to donate her home and all she had for the work of remaking the world. She was a woman of wealth, surrounded by a host of servants and living in a large country house in acres of beautiful gardens. Tirley Garth became a conference centre for Moral Re-Armament, to be used for making change. Some years after her death her home was sold and the money put into a trust to help continue her wish to strive for a world remade, where people feel cared for, challenged and supported to answer their deepest calling.

At the age of 87 Irene wrote a memoir, telling the story of why she chose to follow God's calling to be a remaker of the world. You can download the pamphlet for free at https://www.foranewworld.org/material/publications/irene-prestwich-tirley-garth
