Can any one give me any info on Westfield House which was shown as a boarding school in the 1881C.  I have tried Google without success.

Thanks for the info.  It might well  be the school I am interested in.  My only thought that in 1881 it was a girls boarding school.  But we are talking about 100 years ago so anything could have happened in that time.
