Statement of Interest

There was a building sited beside the road to the SE of the present building, in 1823 before this building was constructed. However, this building was in evidence by 1858, as a Roman Catholic School, with the other road-side building still standing. It is sited in front of 105 High Street, Church of Our Lady and St Joseph (see separate listing, which incorporates the shared boundary walls).
