we've just found that one of the ancestors went into a nunnery about 1920, she was born in 1905 in london and died aged 68 in Torbay Devon, anyone know what nunnerties there were there at all?

Just an update, I've recieved the death certificate for the great aunt and she was a religious sister at St Mary's Convent, St Marychurch, Torquay. I've found that the convent is now an old folks home and the orphanage next door, a boys orphange was pulled down years ago but she may have taught there. Anyone remember the school/orphanage.
