All Grade II* listed, from the late 19th century, from the right: the presbytery, the church of St. Francis of Assisi, and St. Francis's Home (former orphanage and seminary). Number 23, a plain red brick house at the left, also appears to be part of the site. The presbytery, rather oddly, is embellished with 'St. George for England' rather than anything to do with St. Francis. Perhaps to placate the locals faced with a massive invasion of their High Street by Romans.
