Milltown House

The main school building, Milltown House, was built in 1887 and for a time was the residence of hymn-writer and poet Mrs. Cecil Frances Alexander, best known for her hymn "All Things Bright and Beautiful". Milltown House was used as the headmasters study, the reception, a history room, a staff room, an IT suite and two English rooms.
