Ushaw College was a Roman Catholic seminary established in 1808 at Ushaw Moor, four miles west of Durham City, to house some of the refugees from the English College at Douai, exiled by the French Revolution. In 1847, a magnificent chapel was opened, designed by Augustus Pugin. An equally impressive library on the continental model together with an exhibition hall was added in 1849-51. It closed as a seminary in 2010 and has since worked closely with Durham University to maintain its facilities.
