An excerpt from the 125 Celebration Service, Thursday 4 February 2021.
“Sherren House has wrapped its arms around our students for nearly 100 years and has become more than just a name to us.
To understand your history is to understand who you are and why.
Sherren House was first built in 1858, over 160 years ago. It was described as “one of the finest homes in the Southern hemisphere”. Imagine how grand it must have seemed in 1858 and even more so when its grand entrance gates were built in 1890, the same Heyington gates that welcome us to the Senior School every day.”
We invite you to read more about the history of Sherren House, here.
