Yes, this weekend saw well over 20 people descending on this place to have a look around and no doubt there will be more reports to follow, both here and elsewhere.

A smidgen of history, should you have missed it in the other reports..


The St Joseph's Foreign Missionary Society (Mill Hill Missionaries) was founded at Mill Hill in 1866 by Father Herbert Vaughan (1832-1903). It was the first catholic missionary society to be founded in England.

The college organised successful missions across much of the world, but eventually numbers began declining in the 1980s. The future of the Mill Hill college was first discussed in 1997, and various plans were drawn up in 2004 to allow the surrounding land to be developed to fund the continuation of the college. These were rejected, opting instead to sell the land and premises. The college officially closed in 2006.

It has been used as a filming location for several well known TV shows with the latest being Call The Midwife in 2012.


Visited with bauhausgirl, PCWOX and all the others whose names I will never recall successfully but love all the same :D
