Mandeville Place

The headquarters of the School since 2002.

A Marylebone townhouse a few streets north of Oxford Street. Classrooms, a library, and a small conference hall. Most London courses and public events are held here.

THE COUNTRY HOUSES

Three houses across England hold the School's retreat life.

Waterperry House seen across the lawn, Georgian stone facade surrounded by mature trees and established garden borders, summer light
Oxfordshire · 83 acres

Waterperry House

Eighty acres of garden and woodland.

Residential retreats, summer schools, and sustained work with land and contemplative life. The saints' frescoes inside are nationally renowned.

Nanpantan Hall, Victorian red-brick manor with conservatory, open lawn, summer light
Leicestershire · Charnwood Forest

Nanpantan Hall

A retreat house in the East Midlands.

Weekend and short residential retreats run from the School's house in Leicestershire. A quieter scale than Waterperry, drawn from the same practice.

Brinscall Hall, dark millstone grit Victorian manor with Gothic arched porch and cupola, wide lawn and mature trees
Lancashire · West Pennine Moors

Brinscall Hall

A study house in the north-west.

Retreats and study weeks for the School's northern students. The house also hosts working sessions for branch tutors from across the region.

Each house has its own life. The work in each is the same.
