Church of St Joseph, Highgate Hill, Islington N19 - Islington
The Passionists (a Roman Catholic religious order) acquired the site in 1858 and built a monastery and chapel. The chapel was rebuilt in 1887-9 by Albert Vicars in a Neo-Romanesque style. Some localised roof repairs were carried out in 2015 with a grant from the Listed Places of Worship Roof Repair Fund. The interior has been repainted. There are still parts of the external fabric in poor condition and a comprehensive repair programme is needed.
