The former home of Laura Ashley in Colchester A spokesman for We are the Minories said: We are missing The Minories. We are very much looking forward to returning to our beautiful building as soon as what has turned into quite major refurbishment is complete. However, in the meantime, We are the Minories, as our name suggests, will be doing everything we can to carry on creating and exhibiting, by taking the spirit and aims of Victor Batte-Lay Foundation and the Minories with us wherever we go.
