I have also just found this link - it only gives a very small snippet of information but I thought it might come in handy to anybody else researching this or other mother and baby homes:

http://www.childrenshomes.org.uk/list/MH9.shtml

It states that St Catherine's House in Newark was open by 1930 (from other sources I believe it was opened in 1922) and was for "Fallen and preventive cases; temporarily; 10s.; free from Deanery." There were spaces for 6 women and there was no min/max age limit for admissions.

You can view Magdalene Homes in other regions via this page:

Hope this helps, if I find out any further info I will post again.
