More about this scene
The south façade of the house is built in the 17th-century English Renaissance style, with pedimented bays overlooking a terrace and lawn to a lake below. In 1722, Francis Fane of Bristol bought the house; his descendants restored and opened it to visitors during the 1970s and 80s. It has since been sold again, and is now closed to the public.

I am now retired and living in Canada (have done for forty years). Brymton was lovely - school life was quite tough, but I was fortunate enough to make a few good friends. Where are you all now?
The summer of this year, I left Clare School at Brympton after spending a few years there. The house was an extension, but for older boys, of Clare school at East Coker Court. Clare School opened to just a few of us, Boarders and Day Boys, in the year 1957. The Headmaster and owner was Mr Bowden. It was a private school and run as a Grammar School.
