Franciscan Convent School

A Memory of Copthorne.

I lived at the convent from 1970 to 1975, Sister Philomena looked after us as children, I was 5 years old when my father sent my 2 brothers and I to live there. The nuns made my childhood memories so good, I think I was very lucky and over the years have revisited the convent. I am travelling back to England next week and will take my wife and children to visit Sister Philomena and the convent. The main building is as the picture but unfortunately the boys dormatories were sold off to housing developers. Many of the Sisters who were there in the 70's are still at the convent.
