It's still not much clearer I'm afraid.

There's nothing on the back of the photograph, but the mount does have an impression showing that it was taken by J Russell & Son, of 51 Baker St. They were at 17 Baker St in 1889 and 51 Baker St by 1917 but I don't know when they moved. They also had branches in Sussex and elsewhere.

It's not 1890s as it would most likely be a cabinet card.

Well found, everyone!

More photos of the cloisters and Capability Brown memorial fountain at:

A street view of the cloister before the fountain was installed:

(This took me to the map, but if you drag the man to the blue blob on the south side of the cloister there's a good view)

Westminster School Archives (who might be interested in it and/or be able to give further information):
