Downside School & Abbey
A Memory of Stratton-on-the-Fosse.
I spent two mostly happy years as a boarder at Downside School, Stratton-on-the-Fosse, in the early 1980s.
What a beautiful place. And with the magnificent minor basilica Downside Abbey.
I last returned(from London) in 2017.
And was struck by how much I didn’t(couldn’t) appreciate as a 16/17 year old. Not much had changed.
What wonderful memories were evoked.
And the quiet pride and joy of being part of such English grandeur.
I plan on returning, and also getting to know the village, Stratton-on-the-Fosse, which I never really had the chance to know all those years ago.
