Firstly to Gorecki, an explorer not on this forum - thankyou !!
This is the convent, designed by the famous church architect, sir John ninian Comper. Up until around five years ago it was actively used and it was then the last nun left. It is currently on the market for sale.
The approach to the building is rather splendid

most of the building is split into accomodation
I should have taken dinner - there is still electric to the oven - I could have heated something up
