'1918-1924 Ashburnham House & (formerly) Turle’s House
Easily the most attractive aspect of Yard. (Note abundant Virginia Creeper. A pity those ball-topped pillars were removed not long after my time.)
From left to right:
(Ground Floor) A.HH (the largest of the five Houses) with 90+ Day boys): Suts (by door); Notice-boards/ Orderly Room (?): entrance to Dark Cloister, Armoury & Gym.
(First Floor) Lib: Classical Under & Upper Shell Form Rooms (the latter nearest School)
(Top Floor-originally Servants’ quarters) Various Class-rooms, including IV, and (nearest School) Music Room.
(These were not all originally built for the purpose and would be considered totally unsuitable in any Comprehensive School today!)
Yard was laid half with yellow gravel, half with flag-stones; on the latter K.SS still played the obsolescent game of ‘Woodens’, tho’ rather half-heartedly.'
