small norman and c14 church with big additions by the habershons in 1852.

built in 1856-7 by w.g. and e. habershon for the college, started to help educate children of families who had fallen on hard times. it later became st.marylebone grammar school, now part of an independent school.

one of two beautiful modern headstops from the main entrance of the college, originally built in 1856-7 by w.g. and e. habershon for a college founded in 1791 in fitzroy square., it later became st.marylebone grammar school, and now again houses part of an independent school. If I had to guess, I'd say that these were done in the 1950s, and are much more convincing works than the art-by-the-yard on woolworths next door, perhaps aptly so.

beautifully calm modern heads on this hoodmould over the main entrance doorway. built in 1856-7 by w.g. and e. habershon for the school which later became st.marylebone grammar school, now part of the independent Abercorn school. the damaged date was given as a.d. 1792, when the school was founded. It had an interesting history, with insane treasurers and unfit headmasters - one of whom murdered his wife and child before attempting suicide- and some interesting pupils, including authors jerome k. jerome , patrick o'brien and len deighton, as well as bertram mills of circus fame and singer adam ant; not a bad list for such a small school.

looking like suicidal dodos, martin-like birds act as decorative beasties on the school buildings built in 1856-7 by w.g. and e. habershon for the school which later became st.marylebone grammar school. having been gradually taken over by the ilea and closed, it is now again part of an independent school.

with big bellies, big beaks and small wings, these martin-like birds act as decorative beasties on the school buildings built in 1856-7 by w.g. and e. habershon for the college, which later became st.marylebone grammar school, now part of abercorn independent school.

hanging on for dear life, these seemingly flightless birds remind me of martin brothers pottery. they act as decorative beasties on the school buildings built in 1856-7 by w.g. and e. habershon for the school which later became st.marylebone grammar school, and is now part of a new independent school.

built in 1856-7 by w.g. and e. habershon for the school, which originally took in boys nominated for education by subscribers. the school had a turbulent history, with treasurers becoming insane, headmasters thrown out of office for unsuitable behaviour - including a double murder in one case- and a long and bitter battle over control with the i.l.e.a., resulting in the school being closed down. add to all this lord rothermere throwing cash at the place as long as his gifts retained independence ( gifts including a chunk of leith hill which became a summer camp, and a rembrandt self portrait, which was declined) and some interesting old boys, like adam ant, bertram mills of circus fame, and several authors (jerome k. jerome, len deighton and patrick o'brien), with royal patronage and links to all sorts of interesting sponsors and you get a small school that obviously punched far above its weight. one of its best headmasters started at 19 and went on for 45 years, and now the building is an independent once more, part of abercorn school.
