St Hilda's School Exhibition
Jubilee Room
From 2nd September
When St Hilda's School closed last year the Museum was entrusted with the school's archive material. We will show some of the photographs and items of interest as we explore the origins of the house, the life of the School and its founder Miss Violet Curry ,who shaped the school from the beginning. Our Exhibition reflects her love of nature and the importance she gave to lessons outside the classroom, which continued at St Hilda's until it closed. We have her extraordinary personal journals which are beautifully illustrated with watercolour pictures of the natural world. We will be telling stories of the man who built the original house and the famous people who have been linked to the school. This is an opportunity to see how the school began and evolved over time.
