Convent Of St Clotilde, Grade II listed building in Lechlade, England.

The convent features coursed stone walls, a tile roof, three Dutch gables, and decorative mullion windows spanning across its three-storey structure.

Built between 1872 and 1873 by architect John Loughborough Pearson for George Milward, the manor became a convent when purchased by Sisters of St Clotilde in 1939.

The building operated as a girls' school throughout much of the 20th century until 1998, when the remaining sisters returned to France.

The entrance includes seven stone steps leading to a projecting square porch tower with decorative balustrades and an open arcaded ground floor.

During renovations in 1938, workers discovered an Acheulean hand axe in a gravel pit near the manor, adding archaeological value to the site.
