Ushaw College is a former Catholic Seminary, near the village of Ushaw Moor, County 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.

Saint Cuthbert’s Chapel, Ushaw Seminary, Durham, England. A perfect setting for the Celebration of The Divine Mass.
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.

What an amazing video of the Solemn High Mass at Ushaw in 1960: thank you, Zephyrinus. Just the solemn, stately entrance, the cross bearer and candle-bearers, shoulder-to-shoulder, stepping perfectly in synchrony with each other and all the attendant servers, just amazing. This humble scribe has downloaded the video to watch and listen to it often, when the paltry, faded, sad state of the current Roman liturgy gets too much to bear. “What we have lost” in 65 years.
