NHER 26485 (Building record) - Notre Dame Convent

Convent listed as late 18th century building. Grounds shown by Hochstetter in 1789 probably contemporary with it; ornamental walks, formal gardens, kitchen garden. Very little change throughout 19th century. Acquired by convent in 1865. In 1841 there was a strawberry tree 20 feet (6.1m) high and a Platanus occidentalis (American Sycamore). Much of area, particularly to north, now built over for school but planting remains to south, as does wall. Norfolk Historic Gardens Survey graded as regional importance as example of private garden converted to institutional use.
