Childhood Adventure
I'm not prepared to reveal my real name online, however I was a child during the 70's the duration of which was spent in Warnham. This house belonged to some old dear I met only a couple of times, she was housebound and terribly old. She was cared for by the mother of my schoolfriend, whose name I also shan't reveal online. However I spent many, many days playing in and around this house. What a delight to see it again after all this time!
It was demolished sometime during the 1980s, as far as I'm aware, or soon after. I recollect it was full of wood panelling, the hallway and staircase were a sight to behold. It had games rooms, and all sorts. I'm sure I remember a billiard room. The kitchens were huge. I recall two massive old-fashioned Agas.

My Grandparents
I believe my grandparents worked at Warnham Court during this period. I have some photos of the staff and house etc. My grandfather's name was Arthur Butler.
Warnham Court Boarding School
I attended Warnham Court when it was a school. It remained a very good school right through to the 1990s when it was closed and revamped in a rather horrid way and sold off as individual flats.. some houses were built on what used to be our classrooms and others built along the beautiful drive that had a fantastic pinetum on either side of it. It was surrounded by the beautiful deer park.. I can almost hear the deer rutting.
It had a fascinating ice house and mesmerising sunken gardens and statues of Pan in the terraces and gardens. I also remember palm trees growing and huge Canadian redwoods and an ancient cork tree!
I really miss my days from school. I have a site for ex Warnham Court Pupils and their families, teachers and staff.
