st euphrasia reform school for girls,monmouth wales

[marabout]

I want to find out the where abouts of St Euphasia...it was a reform/ approved school for girls in the 1950s -1960s. Looking at the one photo that I have,....today...it might well be a nursing home,public gardens ,maybe a private school?..........It was run by the "sisters of the good shepherd" in Monmouth,Wales... I would be grateful of any information.

It is spelled St Euphrasia and a search of that with Monmouth found this site which may help:

http://www.geocities.com/approvedschool/index. htm

There is a message board (forum) on that site and it mentions that school, maybe you could ask on there.

A further search seems to indicate it was in Troy House.

I got this by searching in Google for "Troy House Monmouth map"

The first search result that came up was the google map.

My aunt Sister Winifred was the headteacher there in the late 60s and 70s. My family used to visit when we were children and we thought it was marvelous. My aunt is fit and well and now living in London.

I lived in Troy house for a few years when the sisters were there and for some time after. I was about 16 , I am 59 now but I can remember everything about the house like it was yesterday. I can still remember my way around the house and where everything is in the house, like all rooms and even the church inside the house.

Hi, my mum went to Troy House, St. Euphrasia's, Monmouth. Can't find Troygirls at St Euphrasia's on Facebook. But mum is trying to find others she may have been there with to share stories and find answers to questions she has.

[Lilolillypot]

My mum tells eerie tales of that place. But she would love to swap stories with others.
