Passages

A second short flight of stairs led down from the Dining Room to St Anthony's Passage.

St Anthony's passage runs alongside the Dining Room, at a slightly lower level, and leads to the 'Southern Wing' which was built in 1900 and contained the Recreation Rooms, The Art Room and the Junior Study.

During the second world war St Anthony's Passage was used as an air raid shelter. 28 of the younger boarders slept in the passage at night and during day time raids, lessons were held here.

In 2001 Penny Parker, of the Tiles and Architectural Ceramics Society, identified the tiles as having been manufactured by Maw and Co in about 1905.
