Report - St Mary's, Father Hudson Society buildings, Coleshill, November 2010

[TranKmasT]

Couldn't find any specific details about the use of the St Mary's buildings apart from it's name I found on a planning document.
From it's contents I assume it was a care home for the elderley like St Jopseph's on the same grounds.

A beautiful explore with some great features, wooden floors and staircases. High ceilings and terrazzo marble floor in places.
Oh, check out the carpets too but don't tell Kirstie Allsopp.

Father Hudson’s Society was founded by Father George Vincent Hudson. Father Hudson was born in 1873 at Kinsham in the parish of Bredon, Worcestershire. He studied for the priesthood at St. Mary’s College Oscott and was ordained in 1898. A week after his ordination he was sent to Coleshill as parish priest.

The sign by the way is for the New St Joseph's care home to the rear. Not the building you see.
