What is recorded here
Three-storey convent building, c. 1895, with coupled windows in sandstone and gabled and roofed gateway; on site of Almshouses building; altered and modernised; retaining slate pitched roofs, chimney stacks articulated with limestone dressings, painted render finish to side elevation and square sandstone ashlar with limestone dressings, limestone plinth course and quoins and moulded limestone eaves to rest, paired timber sliding sash windows with sandstone relieving arches and limestone dressings, trefoil detail to ground floor openings, and pointed arched opening to gateway; part of convent complex.
Although altered and modernised, this substantial late nineteenth-century building is very well maintained and has significance both in its own right, retaining much original external fabric, and as part of the larger convent complex of local historical importance.
