Report by Caroe and Passmore of 3 Great College St., Westminster, detailing the work required to bring the school up to modern standards. The report concludes:

The School is a good example of the better type of Village School erected in the last century; the construction generally is sound and the Class Rooms are light and airy.....however, the accommodation is in many respects deficient when judged by modern standards and, without considerable expenditure and the acquisition of additional land, it would not be possible to make the building comply with present day requirements.

Baptism Registers of Mayday University Hospital Chaplaincy

  • AR175
  • Collection
  • 1867 - 2002

Collection consists of ten Baptism Registers, nine for the Croydon Workhouse Chapel covering the period October 1867 to February 2002 and one for the Croydon Isolation Hospital covering the period February 1950 to March 1964.

These registers do not, at least in the modern period, contain entries for Catholics. If a Catholic baptism was required then a local priest was called in and the baptism recorded in the register of that Church. In the 1960s this was usually St Marys but in more recent years this has been St Andrews in Thornton Heath.
