St Paul's College, Sunbury-on-Thames
Summary
St Paul's Catholic College is a coeducational Roman Catholic secondary school and sixth form located in Sunbury-on-Thames, Surrey, England. St Paul's is a 1987 amalgamation of Cardinal Godfrey Boys' School and St Teresa's Girls' School both established in the early 20th century.
The elegant two-storey, tall-ceilinged house with many windows formed the heart of St Teresa's Convent School and forms the staff and administration building. It is at the end of the Ridings in Green Street and was built during the reign of William IV, that is between 1830 and 1837 to designs by an unknown architect. It is a Grade II listed building. It has a simple Doric porch (portico), central round window and open pediment with two bays to either side.

Before the opening of Sunbury Police Station in 1882, Mr Mitchison, who was the local Justice of the Peace (magistrate) had special permission to conduct the court in a room of this grand house.
After the death of Mr Mitchison, the house changed hands several times. It was owned at one time by a non-Catholic group who were not pleased that the newly built St. Ignatius’ Church could be viewed from their windows, so they decided to sell the house and lands. At some time the property was owned by Major Peters and his family. Major Peters had two sons, one of whom was killed in World War I and the other killed in a polo playing accident prompting its sale.
The Sisters of Charity of St. Paul purchased the house and lands in 1926. The Sisters worked in St.
