The Church of St Joseph was attached to the back of St Gildas Convent to provide a convenient place of Catholic worship. Previously an upstairs room had been used as a chapel, but it was too small, so a conservatory was demolished to make way for a new extension. Its construction was supervised by Langport builder, William Rist. The chapel was blessed and dedicated to St Joseph by Father Long, secretary to the Bishop of Clifton and Chancellor of the Diocese, who celebrated the opening mass on 10 December 1929. The semi-circular extension at the far end was added in 1965. It has been deconsecrated and converted to residential use.
