Alnwick Architecture : Covered Walkway and Statue at St Paul's RCVA First and Middle Schools, Alnwick

Image: © Richard West Taken: 12 Sep 2012

Parallel to the front elevation of this fine late 1950's (?) school building runs a covered processional walkway terminating in a circular arcade around a statue of the Virgin Mary. This elaborate feature hints at the site's former existence as the Convent School of the Sisters of Mercy.
