More about this scene
The camera looks north, with Old Schools on the left; this is effectively the original Harrow School building of 1608, with the wing seen here added by C R Cockerell in 1819. Much of the original interior remains, including timber panelling heavily inscribed by former pupils, including Byron, Sheridan and Winston Churchilll. To the right is the Gothic school chapel of 1854 designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott, while further to the right, but out of shot, is the library of 1861, also by Scott, and recently sensitively re-ordered by local architect Andrew Reed. All-in-all, it is a picturesque group. Further down the hill can be seen the speech rooms by William Burges.
