St Margaret's School, Yeaton Peverey

I was a pupil at St Margaret's School for Girls about this time, it was run by a Miss Hainselin and Mrs Scott. A most beautiful place to be, although I can't say I learnt anything but to speak well and behave like a lady! It was taken over by a Mr Chadwick and his family. Lots of stories and history. But I was rather a wild child - say no more. The beautiful house was owned by Sir Offley Wakemen who I believe died in 1991. I do wonder what has happened to the lovely building now?

Hi Rosemary,

I remember you well. A wild child???? That's not what I remember ;)

The building was abandoned for a long long time. I went to see it once in that state.

It did go to the Sue Ryder Foundation much later but I don't think it was actually used by them and has since been cut up into apartments.
