Broad Colney: All Saints Pastoral Centre

The building on the right was completed in 1901 as a convent for the All Saints Sisters of the Poor, an Anglican order, to the design of Leonard Stokes. The Chapel on the left was added between 1921 and 1928 to the design of the renowned church architect, Sir Ninian Comper (1864-1960), and extended by his son Sebastian Comper between 1960 and 1964. It is therefore, unsurprisingly, known as the Comper Chapel. The whole building was acquired by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Westminster in 1973, and today caters for both residential and non-residential conferences, meetings and retreats, mainly from religious organizations. http://www.allsaintspc.org.uk/
