Evacuation tale
I am researching country houses that were used by evacuated schools during the war.
Many country houses, from Thirlestane Castle and Blair Castle in Scotland to Chatsworth and Castle Howard in England, were home to evacuated schools, to name a few.

Hide AdI am interested in learning about the experiences of people who called Britain’s stately homes ‘home’ during the war.
I am also interested in learning how country houses adapted to new roles as schools.
I am looking for anyone who was evacuated with their school to a country house during the war who would like to share their memories with me.
I am interested in any information and any photos taken, which will be returned.
