Herefordshire / Re: Price's at Hergest Court Farm, Kington before 1838

Great stuff. Many thanks. My mother was taught by Mrs Schofield. I like the descriptions, especially of Messrs Beble & Walsh. I have a photograph of Winston Churchill astride a horse near Mahollam - during the Second World War. He' was obviously visiting his in-laws at Huntington Park for a day or two as a break from more urgent business in London, perhaps.

I've recently taken over the running of Kington Museum and if you have any material you could donate, loan (we can scan and return immediately) or send as copy, would be most gratefully received.

One or two of our displays for this coming season, hopefully, will include quite a lot on Hergest Court and Mahollam School.

Anyway many thanks again. Is it OK if I use the extract from your Grandpa's diary?

What a great site. I've just joined. I'd love to take up your offer arrowmead - "I have a lovely description written by my grandfather (1861-1932) of his childhood at Hergest; the spring flowers, Mahallum School, 7 years at Kington Grammar and Mr Everard's private school, if anyone is interested." I've never heard of Mr Everard's School.
I went to Mahollam School then on to Lady Hawkins Grammar. My father used to dip his sheep at Hergest Court. I was always very worried when I saw a black dog!
