Maryfield Convent is an elderly people's home run by the Dominican Sisters of St. Catherine of Sienna (Malta) and is in many ways the ideal old person's home.
A residency for 26 elderly men and women it is situated next to the Priest's house and the Sacred Heart local church for the village of Hook - north of Basingstoke.
In 1948 Misses Virginie Le Duc and Irene Teeling bought property in Hook, known as "The Red House" and changed the name to "Maryfield".
By 1961 the elderly ladies were in failing health and asked the Dominican Sisters of St. Catherine of Sienna (Malta) if they would agree to send over 2 or 3 nursing sisters to look after them during their lifetime.
In return they promised that after their death, the property would pass to the nuns for the development of their work.The Bishop agreed to the foundation of the Convent and now MARYFIELD is a successful home for the elderly run by the sisters.
