EAST GRINSTEAD, SUSSEX

Likely relating to the convent of St. Margaret, East Grinstead, Sussex. This is noted as "the temporary St. Margaret's", the actual convent was built in 1868 I believe. The Architect was George Edmund Street. The Sisters of St. Margarets were founded in 1855 by Dr. John Mason Neale (1818-1866) at Rotherfield England.

Sackville College founded 1609 by Robert Sackville. Still in use as an Almshouse today. A previous warden of the College was Dr. John Mason Neale, who founded the Sisters of St. Margarets as noted above.
