What The Good Schools Guide says..
In amongst the trees and valleys a cross-country course has been laid out as well as new cricket pitches and other games fields. William Kent, it is famously said, ‘jumped the fence and found all nature was a garden.’ Meanwhile, back in the old house with the wonderful main staircase, the higgledy-piggledy back stairs and the late Victorian stained glass windows, with dance music filling the hall (not the head practising), that venerable old house has been fully refurbished and modernised with state-of-the art technology and the music department...
