Description: | Fr. Edmund Scully, the head of the Catholic Mission at St. Marie's decided to build a school-chapel somewhere in the middle of the Crofts, where the Irish Catholics could here Mass and once again find their own identity. Fr. Scully asked Matthew Ellison Hadfield, the architect of St. Marie's to find a suitable site and he quickly discovered a plot of land for sale at the top of White Croft just above Bakers' Yard later called Bakers Lane. The White Croft site and a site known as Jervis Court wiith old houses on it, together with a large open courtyard sloping down to the Ragged School was purchased in April 1851 for raised by mortgage.
