The Convent of the Holy Rosary Sisters

Durleigh Road, Bridgwater

Although there are no longer any Holy Rosary Sisters in our parish,
they are still remembered for their presence in Bridgwater from September 1939 until very recenly.

These pictures will undoubtedly bring back some lovely memories to our older parishioners.
