Latimer
The Founder of Kingham Hill School, Charles Edward Baring Young, purchased Latimer House, Fitzroy Square in London, 10 March 1894. On leaving school, some pupils would live at Latimer and work in the City, learn a trade or become an apprentice. The book of his life states that, ‘Latimer fulfilled all the hopes and designs of its founder. Here a young man found a pleasant boarding house, a good club and a Christian home’. Although not in London (and not for boys!), I feel in choosing the name Latimer for the new day girls’ house, we are endeavouring to continue this vision and provide the same ‘pleasant house’, a good ‘community’ and a Christian home with which the Founder would be pleased.

Havelock
The day boys’ house has been named Havelock after the farm the Founder bought in Canada. Before leaving for Canada, boys who wanted to work in agriculture worked on the Kingham Hill Farm for one year. When they arrived at Havelock Farm, they worked the land and adjusted to ‘independent’ living. Many continued in agriculture, whilst others went into business and commerce. Havelock has always been associated with independence, initiative and self-sufficiency. Our hope is that the new Havelock House will once more continue this fine tradition. Facilities:
