Dee House Convent School, 1854-1976.

I should like to thank all who have helped me during the writing of this history, particularly the Staffs of the Cheshire County and Chester City Record Offices and of the Public Library, St. John Street, Chester. I am especially indebted to Very Reverend Canon F. Murphy, V.F., B.A., the parish priest of St. Werburgh's, who asked me to undertake the work, and to the Ursuline community, Dee House, Chester, whose constant hospitality made it possible. I am also grateful to Sister Benedict Flynn for the drawings used on the cover.
