Old Swinfrod Hospital School is still in existence and is a very successful Boarding School. I am sure they will have all the details you require. A previous headmaster was a very good local historian and interested in the history of both the school and its locality.

Thank you both for your help   Grin
I will write the school  and hopefully gain some information that will help me break a few bricks in my wall.
