Home of Compassion, Thames Ditton

Work started on the construction of this house in the 1780s. It was known as Boyle Farm until 1905 when it was purchased by the Order of the Compassion of Jesus, an Anglican religious order. In due course it became the Home of Compassion, a charitable care facility for the elderly. As the sign suggests it is currently being refurbished and redeveloped. It stands on the Surrey bank of the Thames opposite the eponymous Boyle Farm Island.
