The demolished Jesuit Training College. Previously a gaol complex, it was taken over by French Jesuits circa 1880. A news report from The Graphic of 4 September 1880 says - "FRENCH JESUITS AT MOLD - The building which has hitherto been known as Flintshire County Gaol was last week formally handed over to the Rev. Francis Xavier Pailloux(?), who with two priests and two lay-brothers has gone into residence there, renaming the place "St. Germanus House. Extensive alterations are to be made to the building, which is designed to become the home of a monastic community, numbering about one hundred members." It was subsequently sold onto two orders of nuns before being sold privately in 1928. Most of the buildings, including the chapel, were subsequently demolished, and the few reamining were converted to residential use. From David Rowe's Collection.
