St John's Seminary, Wonersh
Church in Surrey, England
About
St John's Seminary was a Roman Catholic seminary established in 1891 and located at Wonersh near Guildford in Surrey, in the Diocese of Arundel and Brighton, United Kingdom. St John's was the principal seminary for that diocese and also for the Archdiocese of Southwark, and for other dioceses to a greater or lesser extent, including Plymouth, Portsmouth, East Anglia, Clifton, Menevia, and also for the Archdiocese of Cardiff and the newly-founded Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham.
In late 2020 it was announced that the seminary would close. The seminary was in continuous use until the building was officially vacated in December 2022 after all sacred objects and articles had been removed and re-homed in Catholic churches and institutions in the UK and beyond.
