Stonyhurst College, Independent Catholic boarding school in Clitheroe, England
The college spans across a 1000-acre estate near the River Hodder, featuring stone buildings with large windows and intricate architectural details throughout the property.
Founded in 1593 by Robert Persons during the Protestant Reformation, the institution relocated to its current Lancashire location in 1794 through Thomas Weld's donation.
