The following Text is from Wikipedia - the free encyclopaedia.

Ushaw College is a former Catholic Seminary, near the village of Ushaw MoorCounty Durham, England. It was Founded in 1808 by scholars from The English College, Douai, France, who had fled France after The French Revolution.

Ushaw College was affiliated with The University of Durham from 1968 and was the principal Roman Catholic Seminary for the training of Catholic Priests in The North of England, finally closing in 2011 due to the shortage of Vocations.

The buildings and grounds are now maintained by a Charitable Trust.

Please God, one day this Chapel will be a regular Mass location, again.
During the height of Ushaw Seminary in the 1960s, over 400 Seminarians would attend Daily Divine Mass in this Chapel.
