Allen Hall Seminary
Allen Hall Seminary, often abbreviated to Allen Hall, is the Roman Catholic seminary and theological college of the Province of Westminster at 28 Beaufort Street in Chelsea, London, in the London Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. It is situated on the site of the house that was once occupied by St Thomas More. Though nothing of the house remains, parts of the 16th-century garden wall exist today.
Allen Hall Seminary, located in the Chelsea district of London, serves as the principal seminary for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Westminster. With its roots tracing back to the 16th century, the seminary was originally established in Douai, France. Its primary function is to train men for the priesthood, offering an extensive curriculum in Catholic theology, spirituality, and pastoral ministry.
The seminary's inception dates back to the 16th century, originating in Douai, France. This historical context plays a significant role in its traditions and educational ethos.
The Catholic theological college is named after Cardinal William Allen who founded a seminary in Douai, France, in 1568 to provide for the English mission in time of persecution when it was illegal to train men for the Catholic priesthood in England.
In 1793, the professors and students moved from Douai to Ware, Hertfordshire, to escape the French revolution and founded St Edmund's College.
The site of the seminary dates back to 1524, when it was purchased by Henry VIII's chancellor, Thomas More. Although his house no longer exists, one of the mulberry trees he planted survives in the seminary garden, which is one of the largest gardens in Chelsea.
The current building is a former convent built by French nuns in the 19th and 20th centuries, the Sisters of the Adoration Réparatrice, who occupied it until 1975 when it was bought by the Archdiocese of Westminster. The college chapel was designed by Hector Corfiato and was completed in 1958.
In 1975 the seminary itself moved its present-day site which allowed St Edmund's to expand as a school and became Allen Hall.
