"The fourth view affords an idea of the front avenue just where it sweeps round the curve to the principal entrance of the Convent. Away to the left may be seen part of the High School buildings, while at the right the top of the chapel entrance is just visible above through the limes and copper-beeches."

Notre Dame Convent 
St. Catherine's Hill, Norwich. 
This Convent is pleasantly and healthfully situated on the outskirts of this interesting city. The gardens and playgrounds are very fine, the field and plantations affording full scope for the enjoyment of the peculiarly bracing air of Norfolk. 
Young ladies are received as boarders and, when desired, are prepared for the St. Andrews L.L.A., Oxford Locals, and other examinations such as the Royal Drawing 
IMA Society, the Royal Academy of Music, etc. 
The first view gives a general view of the Convent to the left and the Boarding School Buildings on the right. The foreground shows part of the pupils' hockey ground. 
The second picture shows part of the lawn as seen from the back. To the left is a portion of the Convent buildings and to the right the refectory windows. 
The third is a pretty rendering of part of the terraced ground near the Chapel and leading by the conservatories round to the main avenue. 
The fourth view affords an idea of the front avenue just where it sweeps round the curve to the principal entrance of the Convent. Away to the left may be seen part of the High School buildings, while at the right the top of the chapel entrance is just visible above through the limes and copper-beeches. 
The next view also shows a particularly pretty part of the long shady avenue. The turf on both sides is studded with grand old trees among which the children delight in "hide and seek." 
The last view gives a good idea of the Chapel Sanctuary. The beautiful brass and alabaster communion rails show up well and a glimpse of the mosaic tiling round the altar is given through the rails.
