The Marist Sisters

The Old Convent Erected in the late 1800's this Victorian building, typical of the period, was further extended in 1905. Known as Dolforgan, it was owned by a local solicitor, Walter Frederick Thomas. Purchased by the Marist Sisters, and renamed 'The Convent', they opened their first school here in 1941, a popular educational establishment teaching primary and secondary pupils. From 1986, with fewer staff, it continued for some years as a nusery school. The remaining Marist sister retired in 2007. Aquired by the Ottery St Mary Town Council it was opened in 2009 as Council Offices and Police Station
