One of my closest friends to this day was a boarder at the school and had a round room in one of the turrets - she was in the top one of two, known as heaven and hell! Lots of ghost stories about white landing at the top of the house, a maze in the gardens, lots of air-raid shelters to explore - it was an adventure to go to school there! Like it John!
