Mostyn House School

Mostyn House School is a school building located on The Parade in Neston, constructed from red Ruabon brick with terracotta details and a distinctive tiled roof. The red brick exterior and decorative accents give it the formal appearance typical of Victorian-era educational institutions.

The school was founded by Edward Henry Price and moved to Parkgate in 1855, operating as a boys' boarding school for many years. It became co-educational in 1985, though it eventually closed in 2010.

The school chapel contains painted glass windows made by Morton and Company of Liverpool, which created a spiritual space where students gathered for worship and reflection throughout the school's history.

The building underwent major expansions from 1890 to 1893, adding dining rooms, dormitories, bathrooms, a swimming pool, and a covered playground to accommodate more students. When visiting, you can observe how the school grew in size and facilities through its physical layout.

The school housed a carillon that was installed in 1918 to honor students who died in war. This bell tower was moved to Charterhouse School when Mostyn House closed in 2010.
