No sign of convent on Ordnance Survey 6 inch (1975) map. Buildings are shown on the same site. This convent was sold in the late 1960s. It had been owned by the Sisters of Charity and used as a dormitory for boarders attending Stella Maris Convent in Bideford. Property developers bought the building and grounds. The building was completely demolished and a new block of flats known as Dolphin Court was constructed. A new bungalow was also built on part of the grounds.
