Hi all.

I have a possible ancestor in the 1901 census.
Does anyone know of any school on Spy Hill around this time?

Hi...No it closed down years ago and remained a convent ...It was sold about a year ago to be turned into a hotel....That put on hold now due to the downturn..

The area now is called Bishops Road....Because of the Bishops palace there...
