Scope and content

Westminster School has 11 houses at present, 6 of which have boarding facilities. Many of the houses have created records documenting their activities which are catalogued here. This series also contains the records of the Town Boys - not strictly a house - but the name given to pupils who were not scholars and who therefore shared a group identity.

System of arrangement

The houses are organised into sub-series arranged chronologically according to their date of foundation. House photographs are listed separately in the Photograph series.
