North Perrott Manor House, School in North Perrott, England
North Perrott Manor House is a two-storey stone building constructed in 1877 by architect Thomas Henry Wyatt, featuring an L-shaped plan, slate roof, and formal entrance porch with supporting columns. The estate includes an orangery with large windows, a two-storey stable block, a walled courtyard with decorative balusters, a small garden summerhouse, and a sunken garden with period seating and ornaments.
North Perrott Manor House was built in 1877 by architect Thomas Henry Wyatt for landowner P.M. Hoskyns and served as a family estate residence. During the Second World War it was used to house evacuated schoolchildren, and afterwards became Perrott Hill School, a role it continues today.
The property operates as a school and is not regularly open to visitors; access is typically available only during special heritage events. Prospective visitors should contact the school in advance or check for scheduled open days, as the grounds remain in active use for educational purposes.
The orangery roof sustained damage during the Second World War and was subsequently rebuilt, reflecting the building's layered history. Today the school has added modern features like a living sedum roof on its music building, creating a visible blend of historical architecture with contemporary needs.
