Questions about Presentation Convent

Is Presentation Convent on the National Inventory?

Yes: rated National (record 12505169).

Can you visit Presentation Convent?

It can be seen from the street; whether you can go inside depends on its owner.

When was Presentation Convent built?

Its National Inventory record dates it to 1820–1840.

Is Presentation Convent protected?

Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
