Allerton Priory

Allerton Priory, Liverpool, England, is a Grade II* listed building designed by Alfred Waterhouse and completed in 1870.

In 1866, John Grant Morris, Mayor of Liverpool and a colliery owner, bought the estate and commissioned architect Alfred Waterhouse to rebuild the house.

[2] In 1897 a Monsignor Nugent (1822–1905) founded a House of Providence (or Magdalen Asylum), which was run by nuns as a refuge for unmarried Irish girls.

In 1915, the Sisters established a (residential) School for Special Educational Needs, again for girls.

[2] The property was then purchased by Danny Mullholland and converted to a nursing home, which was managed by a local family until 1994/1995.
