Stonyhurst College, Lancashire
A view down one of the two big lakes in front of the college, just west of Clitheroe.
The historic Stonyhurst College, described as one of the largest buildings in the NorthWest. This magnificent 16C manor house, now a famous catholic boarding school has quite a history. We had just walked a previously named three river walk now renamed The Tolkein Trail because J.R.R Tolkein and his family regularly stayed at a guest house in the grounds.
The PiP shows St Peter’s church: an important part of the college.
Stonyhurst College as a school dates back to 1593 when its antecedent, the Jesuit College at St Omer, was founded in Flanders to educate English Catholics. The history of the present school buildings dates as far back as 1200 AD. The gatehouse and towers are dated from 1592 and Oliver Cromwell spent the night in here sleeping on a table. The roll of former Old Stonyhurst reads like a history book of famous people with many famous Jesuits, Beati, martyrs and notables having passed through here.

Herb Riddle club has replied to LotharW clubBest Wishes, Herbert
Have a good day.
Gordon
Ps did you park at Herst Green.
Herb Riddle club has replied to TOZ clubCheers. Herb
I have to admit, I haven't heard of this place. Can the public walk in the grounds?
A very striking PiP also.
All the best, Rosa.
Herb Riddle club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne clubAs to whether the public can walk here -I shall copy the answer to Toz: We walked along the main thoroughfare passed the church and along the lakes to the main entrance just at the edge of Hurst Green but in all honesty the way is normally closed except on open days and perhaps in the school holidays in Summer. We were directed by some locals that we followed. We have done the same walk a few times in the past without any trouble but nowadays....
Glad you liked my PiP too.
Cheers. Herb
Merci beaucoup pour toutes ces informations.
Bonne et agréable journée

Herb Riddle club has replied to John LawrenceInteresting links as well..........I have to admit I have heard of virtually none of the "old boys", but I'm certainly impressed by the lists of military bravery awards and honours.
Excellent work as always.
