Description	In 1861 Cardinal Wiseman invited the Dominican Friars to take over the mission at Kentish Town. At first they lived at 20 Fortess Terrace. But within a year or so they had purchased about three acres along Southampton Road in a district known as Haverstock Hill, and had the Cardinal's permission to build a Priory and a Church there. On the 6th August 1863, Fr Jandel, the Master of the Dominican Order, blessed the foundation stone. By the autumn of 1867 the Priory had been built and a temporary Church had been set up in the Priory. The Priory Church was completed in 1883, having cost about £40,000, with the title Our Lady of the Rosary.
