Burnham, Somerset - Schools
« on: Thursday 16 August 18 18:48 BST (UK) »
I'm trying to identify a school shown on the 1901 census for Bunham - looks like Hall or Hail House and it was probably a boarding school.

Hi,

In the Kelly Directory of Somerset 1902 there is mention of a Hart House School at The Grove in it's own grounds of 8.5 acres, will hold 40 boarders.

Rev J Thompson & H J K Thompson MA are principles.

Could this be the school?

Link to info on the school -
