The Nunnery - Forest Hill Road SE22

[celebrationoftheyear]

I am looking for any local history information on Cabrini House (photo attached). I know it was once a nunnery and is situated next to Scared Heart school at the top of Forest Hill road, but I cannot find any in-depth history, pictures/ sketches, extended information on it as a convent.

If anyone has any information, books or anything that may be of interest, then do share!

The house that has been converted into flats is next to Francesca Cabrini School and I think nuns still live in accomodation on the other side of the school.

If you contact the headteacher, I'm sure they will be able to give you more information.

On maps from 1896 onwards it was called Woodville, I grew up very near there and it was some sort of care home 20+ years ago.
