A very large late Victorian house built in 1897 by GH Gray for Sir Edward Malet, the distinguished ambassador. It had 46 rooms and extensive beautifully landscaped grounds, woodlands and a Japanese garden. Sir Edward died in 1908 and Lady Malet in 1927, the house becoming Lindores girls boarding school in 1928 and then St Mary’s School for handicapped children in 1946.

It is now St Mary’s has fine half timbered gables, two-storey timber balconies and red brick elevations.  The historic lodge fronting Wrestwood Road is also a good candidate for local listing but not the post-war school buildings.
