St Joseph Seminary, Mark Cross, Grade II listed seminary in Mark Cross, England

St Joseph Seminary stands on 54 acres of land with architectural elements designed by George Goldie and interior work by E.W. Pugin in East Sussex.

The structure originated as St Michael's Orphanage for Girls in 1869, funded by the Dowager Duchess of Leeds, before becoming a seminary in 1925.

The building served multiple educational purposes, transitioning from a Catholic seminary to a ballet school and later an Islamic educational institution.

The seminary building underwent expansions in 1903 and 1960, adding convent spaces and six additional classrooms to accommodate growing educational needs.

The Department for Education and Skills closed the facility in 2007 when it operated as Jameah Islameah school due to educational standard deficiencies.
