St Joseph's College was a Roman Catholic minor seminary in Mark Cross, outside RotherfieldinEast Sussex. It was designed by Edward Pugin and the site dates to 1869. It is a Grade II listed building.[1] It has been named by the Victorian Society as a heritage building at risk of disrepair.[2]

St. Michael's Orphanage for Girls[edit]

It was originally known as St. Michael's Orphanage for Girls and was built in 1869. The exterior was designed by George Goldie and the interior was designed by E. W. Pugin.[1] It was paid for by a donation from the Duchess of Leeds, wife of Francis D'Arcy-Osborne, 7th Duke of Leeds. The site itself consisted of 54 acres of land and it was run by the Society of the Holy Child Jesus as part of a pair of orphanages, the other one being Mayfield College.[1] In 1903, it was extended to allow for more accommodation in the convent, the extension was designed by Joseph Hansom.[1]

St Joseph's College[edit]

In 1925, it was bought by the Archdiocese of Southwark to serve as a minor seminary for St John's Seminary in Wonersh.[3] In 1960, the building was extended to allow for six extra classrooms.[4]

Post-seminary[edit]

Legat's School of Ballet[edit]

In 1970, it was closed and was bought by a group and it became the Legat's School of Ballet, founded by Nadine Nicolaeva-Legat.[5]

Jameah Islameah School[edit]

In 1992, it was bought by a charity called Jameah Islameah. In 2006, it was raided by Metropolitan Police who believed it was being used as a training camp for terrorists.[6] In 2007, it was closed by the Department for Education and Skills for failing standards. It did not have any pupils at the time.[7]
