Wartime Convent in Liphook - Kathe Fovargue (2nd Jun 2009 - 22:13:11) During World War II, two of my sisters and I were placed in a convent in Liphook that was serving as a convalescent home for children. I am anxious to locate anyone who can provide any information on the location and/or name of that convent. It was a large manor house/small castle type of building. If anyone has can provide any information about this, I would be very grateful if they could contact me. Thank you in advance for any help. Kind regards, K Fovargue chasnval@hotmail.com

Re: Wartime Convent in Liphook - Elizabeth Dhillon (3rd Jun 2009 - 09:28:37) Could be Ludshott Manor - but if the information in this link is correct the dates don't seem to match up. The nuns were still there when I first came to Liphook in 1964. www.johnowensmith.co.uk/headley/..

A friend of my mother was the Mother Superior there during the war years and talked fondly of her time there. After the war she became head of a convent in Darlington, Co Durham. Unfortunately neither the Mother Superior nor my mother are still alive so I cant give any more details.
