IN THIS VIDEO I TAKE YOU ON A EXPLORE OF THE ABANDONED ST MARY'S CONVENT SCHOOL NOW CONVERTED INTO RETIREMENT HOME AND APARTMENTS IN WORCESTER.
HISTORY
Building
The building which the school occupied, Battenhall Mount, dates back to the Victorian period and was built during the 1860s. It was taken over by Sir Percy Allsopp who extended the building, modeling it after the Italianate style popularised by Prince Albert. His family business went bankrupt and the house was sold off. It was one of many stately mansions used as a convalescent home-cum-hospital during World War I.
School
In between the wars, the house was put on sale. The Sisters of St Marie Madeleine Postel from St Joseph's Convent School in Reading bought the property in 1934 and turned it into a school. Among its early pupils was Margaret Elgar, great-grandniece of composer Sir Edward Elgar.[2]
The school comprised three divisions: Early Years (3 months - 4 years), the Preparatory School (4 - 11 years) and the Senior School (11 - 18 Years).
St Mary’s Convent which closed in 2014, is being refurbished and transformed by Enterprise Retirement Living (ERL) to provide extensive communal facilities and 106 exquisite and unique apartments.
The Grade II* listed main house and stable block are being converted into a restaurant, bar, gym and salon as well as individual homes.
