Foxford Woollen Mills

Foxford Woollen Mills was founded in 1892 by an Irish nun, called Sister Agnes Morrogh-Bernard. Sister Agnes came to the town of Foxford with the hope of bringing ‘Brighter Homes, Better Work and Greater Happiness’ to the locality and her vision of possibility, tenacity and bravery weaves an intriguing tale though the decades that followed. The FOXFORD story is timeless, rooted in our history yet looking to our future.
