St Josephs
Image: © Ian Capper Taken: 21 Feb 2020
Large Victorian house built around 1860. Its biggest claim to fame is that from 1906 to 1923 it was home to Samuel Ryder, seed merchant and philanthropist and sponsor of the initial Ryder Cup golf competition. In 1923 it was bought by Loreto College, a Roman Catholic girls' school founded the previous year in a next door house, The Elms, with Marlborough House being renamed St Josephs.
