E. Schools, Colleges & Orphanages

Many of the schools are attached to EW Pugin churches, and often preceded them. The most significant college buildings are St Aloysius' (Junior Seminary) college and chapel at Ushaw [E6], and the chapel at Ratcliffe College [E21]. Outstanding examples of orphanages are afforded by those founded by the Duchess of Leeds at Mayfield [E19] and at Rotherfield, near Mark Cross [E20], both in E. Sussex, which although built almost simultaneously are in rather different styles, that of the former being in somewhat more 'modern' Gothic.

1	1853: Liverpool, Merseyside – Institute & Oratory of St Philip Neri: the building was absorbed into (the former) Notre Dame Teacher Training College; the existing chapel on the site is not EW Pugin's original, but is by M Hadfield, 1867.
