Visited with Minty447 & A.N. Other.
Nazareth House was a former orpanage & girls school run by nuns from the Roman Catholic church. An amazing location, this place is big, full of atmosphere & very secure. Minty447 will be posting some of his pics soon. In 1892 the Poor Sisters of Nazareth established a convent at Isleworth House, which they renamed Nazareth House. They conduct a girls' orphanage and a home for the aged, for which a number of new buildings have been erected in the grounds. The chapel was built in 1902
