Dalewood House A Family Home Heritage Open Day celebrates Dalewood House.
O
n September 10th 2016, we were delighted to take part in the ‘National Heritage Open Day’ celebrations by opening Dalewood House to the general public. We are all very familiar with this much loved building and as we go about our daily routines it is easy to forget how privileged we are to be the custodians of this beautiful property. Dalewood House, which was built in 1883, is an excellent example of a ‘Gothic revival style country mansion’ and is Grade II listed.
“
The level of archictectural completeness that exists within the building makes it a rare survivor of its era.
This is largely due to the school’s diligence and commitment to its upkeep and conservation since 1959 when the school was founded.
The Dalewood Estate The ‘Woodbury’ Estate, as it was previously known, was bought in 1882 by a speculative property developer called Charles Fox. He saw an opportunity in the market to appeal to wealthy industrialist families seeking a rural retreat. This had become possible through the expanding railway network and so he planned to
build an aspirational country property, Dalewood House. Many of the buildings that originally existed on the Estate have remained in use from the founding of the school, such as the Lodge, at the more recent entrance in the north east corner, Carriden Stable Yard and greenhouses and the Estate Cottages against Swanworth Lane wall. In 1890 Charles Fox sold the Dalewood House Estate to Mr David Evans, one of the 19th Century’s pre-eminent silk printers and chairman of ‘David Evans & Co’. The company was in operation until relatively recently and renowned as the last of the old London silk printers. David Evans and his family lived at Dalewood House until his death in 1901 and, after his wife Sarah died in 1912 the house passed to their daughter Lucie Fosbery. She resided at the house with her husband Charles Widenham Fosbery until the house was requisitioned by the British Army as headquarters of the Canadian Army Pay Corps in the Second World War. By 1951 the house had been taken over and run as St Nicholas School by two Australian sisters. In 1959 Box Hill School was founded on the site by Headmaster Mr Roy McComish.
Dalewood House To build his ‘aspirational’ house Charles Fox chose the

pre-eminent architect of the time John Norton (1823 – 1904) whose style was inspired by the celebrated Victorian Architect Augustus Pugin (1812 – 1852). Both designers centred their work on the revival of the pointed structure of the Gothic Arch, “… all ornament should consist of enrichment of the essential construction of the building … and that .. in pure architecture the smallest detail should have meaning or serve a purpose Beauty and Piety”. In that way Dalewood is very much a building of its time.
Dalewood 1939
John Norton designed Dalewood House to be an impressive, richly decorated three storey building in red brick with stone ‘dressings,’ a slate roof with ridge tiles and a series of tall brick chimneys. There are a number of heraldic shields and other symbols carved into the stonework of the building, including the Latin Script “FIDE SED OUI VIDE” which means “trust but be careful in whom”. It would appear that these coats of arms and symbols have no particular meaning but were chosen to infer a link to the local noble classes, potentially to entice those aspirational buyers!
Inside Dalewood The Entrance Hall This is the principal entertaining space of the house and where the grandest fireplace remains. With its marquetry inlaid floor, series of sunken square panels in the ceiling and a wooden screen with a curved ‘ogee’ arch, it certainly provides a magnificent introduction to Dalewood House. As with all of the downstairs windows in the house the entrance lobby displays beautiful stained glass, designed and produced by James Powell & Sons, a fashionable producer of the time. All of the house’s window designs have an emphasis on nature such as flowers, the seasons and eminent creative men which are themes inspired by the popular ‘Arts and Crafts’ movement of the time. Do you remember that carved stone Fox on the wall? Believed to be a homage to the builder Charles Fox.

edges at the southern end – the original stage exists under the modern over-lay. This was most likely used for entertaining guests with small plays or productions as was the custom at the time. The themes of Aesop’s Fables evident in the stained glass windows would suggest this room was not designed originally to be used as a chapel but in the 1960s the room was formally consecrated by the school for that use. The Dining Room Currently used as the school’s Staff Room, the Dining Room maintains many of its original features including wood panelling to the walls and ceiling. However the real focal point of the room is the beautiful black marble fireplace with a large over mantle mirror and carved Gothic surround. Inside there is a tiled surround depicting scenes from the works of Shakespeare by Victorian designer John Moyr-Smith (18391912). The stained glass windows have images of traditional English village life, such as bell ringing and maypole dancing. First Floor The layouts of the first and second floors of the house have been altered over the years but they consist of the main family rooms with dressing rooms off the two main bedrooms, one of which is now the Headmaster’s office, a bathroom and what was probably a morning room at the back. The main bedrooms have the original stained glass roundels, depicting owls. While the morning room windows depict day and night. Second Floor At the top of the main staircase there is a narrow doorway that leads into the servants’ rooms in the garret storey. These rooms have always been used as boarding rooms by the school. The wall visible from the main staircase through the doorway is embellished with wood dado panelling in an attempt to maintain the visual appearance of the main staircase (in the event that any guests might venture that far!) but without incurring the expense in the servants’ living quarters.
The Library Dalewood’s library is an elongated room with an angled end and a double height ceiling with exposed trusses and again the wood panelling on the walls. There is a suspended timber floor with raised

Profile Lucy Monkman (2003 - 2008) Radio 1 DJ
L
ucy Monkman, Monki is one of the most sought after emerging DJ talents in the UK at the moment. Mentored by Radio 1 icon Annie Mac, she hosts her own Radio 1 show and in 2012 set up her digital music label, Zoo Music. Monki has spent the summer touring the international festival scene, but managed to find time in her busy schedule to talk to the Old Boxhillian Office about life, music and her Box Hill school days.
“
I was never a really strong academic but I learnt that you can achieve just as much with your head screwed on.
Lucy Monkman
What are your abiding memories of Box Hill School?
What were your impressions of Box Hill School on your first day?
There are so many happy memories. We definitely had a good laugh there, my year was full of jokers as I expect the teachers can recall. The Year 9 Hockey trip to Holland was a highlight, the boys were on a football tour and the girls on a hockey tour around Holland, it was great, plus we were unbeaten that whole year which made it even better, the camaraderie of the group was amazing.
My first impression was... wow. Dalewood is quite a stand out building, I had never really been in that environment much before and the playing fields were a dream to a sports nut like me. Like any first day of secondary school it can be very daunting and I remember saying to a friend after the first day ‘’ Well, that wasn’t so bad, if it’s like this all the time I could get used to it’’, I got used to it very quickly!
What skills did Box Hill School teach you that you have taken forward in life?
Do you still keep in touch with friends from your time at Box Hill?
I think mostly people skills, I came from a very different background to a lot of my peers and there were a lot international students, I met all sorts of people. I went to India to represent Round Square on an international trip which is something I wouldn’t ever have been able to do without the financial support of the school’s bursary/scholarship system. Being able to play sport every day was a huge thing for me. I was never a really strong academic but I learnt that you can achieve just as much with your head screwed on.
Yes I keep in touch with a fair few. A bunch of us try to meet once a year in summer at the Running Horses next door to school, we did it a few months ago in fact. A lot of others are scattered around the world, I met up with an old friend in New York the other week after 8 years. How did it all begin? I was actually a very late bloomer when it came to music. I wasn’t particularly musical in school, everyone thought I was going to be a sports person. When I was about 16 I started listening to a
Profile
It wasn’t until I was 17 when I made the leap and quit college to work for my dad and earn some money so I could put myself through a Radio Production course in East London; but I learnt most of the more important skills on the job. Tons of internships; at one point, I was doing 3 internships Monday to Friday then working for my Dad on weekends, everyone seems to have a different path and story in music. Radio 1 icon Annie Mac is often quoted as being your mentor - how did you meet her? I met her on the set of a TV show she used to present. I used to watch the show when I was a teenager and I applied to be part of the audience, I thought if I manage to grab a chat with her maybe I could send her a mix or something. I’m very grateful for the support she and other people have given me.

“ I think if you love
some great gigs; playing live on Radio 1 at Glastonbury, Sonar an amazing festival in Barcelona, playing Warehouse Project for the first time a few years ago, representing Radio 1 in Ibiza is always a proud weekend. There is still so much more to do though, so I don’t often stop and think.
Lucy Monkman
What does the future hold for Monki?
something enough, you will find a way to pursue it, no matter the obstacles.
Do you prefer DJing live or being in the radio studio? DJing and being a broadcaster are two very different feelings, although they go hand in hand with my career, I hold them highly in their own right, so I don’t think I could choose. Radio inspired me and DJing is the crazy side of it, the travelling and playing to crowds. I love them both. What has been the highlight of your career so far? Getting a Radio 1 show was a huge deal for me, I had just left a station that I hold very close to my heart to pursue a show on Radio 1, knowing there was no going back. DJ wise - I’ve had
Well summer and the festival season is now over. I’m going to continue my club night in 2017, I’ll be on tour again, I’m looking to re-vamp a lot of things so that’s exciting and of course I’ll be carrying on with my music label – Zoo Music - as well. I plan to stick around Radio 1 as long as I can, I don’t want to be anywhere else. Annie Nightingale has been there over 50 years after all! Do you have any advice for pupils today who want to turn their loves and hobbies into a career? I think if you love something enough, you will find a way to pursue it no matter the obstacles. Just make sure you are doing it for all the right reasons.

his summer students and staff travelled 8,442 miles to Philippolis, South Africa for the Round Square service project which saw them join forces with the Good Work Foundation to help build a toilet block in the small Griqua community of Bergmanshoogte. Box Hill School has been fundraising for and visiting Philippolis for the past 9 years and in that time has assisted in building a crèche, adult learning centre, classrooms, a kitchen, store room, counselling
room and an office. These are really important resources for this community and Box Hill students over the years have the most wonderful time working alongside the local people and getting to know the village children. The students are always a credit to Box Hill School and they leave knowing they have made a real difference and additions to what is a long-term whole school community project. www.goodworkfoundation.org

O
ld Boxhillian – Laurence Anholt (1970 – 1975), one of the world’s most successful children’s authors and illustrators has recently had his debut full length novel – The Hypnotist - published by Penguin Random House. Growing up in the Netherlands, attending Box Hill School and then the Royal Academy in London. Laurence has produced over 200 picture books, published in 30 languages. Titles, such as the self-illustrated “Anholt’s Artists” and the “Seriously Silly Stories” series have sold several million copies around the world. Many of his books are illustrated by his wife, Catherine, and they have won numerous awards including the prestigious Nestlé Smarties (Gold) Award on two occasions. The publishers describe The Hypnotist as a Young Adult / Crossover novel, meaning it’s aimed at older teens and adults. The story is set in the Deep South of America in 1963 and tells the story of a 14 year old black orphan making his way against the backdrop of segregation, the Jim Crow Laws and the dreaded Ku Klux Klan. It’s a fairly gritty thriller, but also a love story with a sprinkle of magic realism! www.anholt.co.uk

teachers and students. Eventually becoming Head Girl of her dorm, Dalewood. Nina was also Captain of the Spartans and enjoyed performing in the musical competitions. Although not too athletic she did participate in many athletic events when needed! She thrived in the responsibility of caring for the younger girls which led to her in becoming a very successful and compassionate ER nurse. We had many fond memories of Box Hill and would reminisce many times of our years there. She developed life-long friends with whom she stayed in contact throughout her life. We will miss her dearly”.
Finland that he met Maria who became his beloved partner. After retirement Peter couldn’t bear to be at home and he joined Box Hill School as the Physics Technician and part-time physics teacher. Again his enthusiasm meant that he threw himself into life at BHS by helping out at charity cake sales, giving freely of his time and became photographer for the school plays. His school holidays were spent camping in France or staying in the summer house of Maria’s family in Finland and he left Box Hill School to marry Maria and went to live in Tampere in Finland. Sadly Maria died in 2000 and Peter came back to live in Reigate, he quickly renewed his acquaintances in Box Hill School and with his usual enthusiasm drove a minibus on the last school visit to a Romanian orphanage.
Peter Richardson, Former Teacher - Box Hill School (1990 - 2005) Words written by Joan Judge, current teacher and friend of Peter. “Peter was born in Carshalton Surrey, one of three brothers and two sisters. He spent his childhood in Carshalton before going to college to study to become a Physics teacher. In the early 1970s Peter and his wife adopted their son Martin and moved to Ethiopia where Peter worked for Emperor Haile Selassie’s where he taught in the Royal school. At the end of the 70s Peter and his family returned to the UK and settled near Wokingham where Peter taught Physics. They had another addition to the family, their adopted daughter. After a few years Peter moved to Reigate and worked for the RNIB where he taught IT to blind students. He also established links with organisations for the blind to exchange ideas in Europe and in particular Finland. It was in

Returning to the classroom after being the Headmaster of the Duke of Kent School in Ewhurst. Roger’s wife contacted Ms Appleton to tell her of his sad death from Parkinson’s earlier this year. Sarah Osbourne, Box Hill current teacher wrote her personal memories of Roger “I met Roger Wilson when we were looking for a prep school for our four children. We visited the Duke of Kent School where he was the Headmaster. I was struck by the fact that as a father of four himself, he seemed to have a good understanding of young people and realistic expectations of them. He was a gentle man with a dry sense of humour.”

Vice Admiral Sir James Weatherall KCVO, KBE Warden of Box Hill School. Box Hill School - Governor 1993, Chair of Governors 1994 – 2003, Warden 2003 - present day. where we were able to ask him some questions about his long association with Box Hill School. What was it like to have educationalist Kurt Hahn as a Headmaster when you were a pupil at Gordonstoun?
S
ir James joined the Royal Navy in 1954 from Scottish Round Square School, Gordonstoun. A distinguished naval career followed lasting over 39 years, he served in most parts of the world. He was given command of the frigate HMS Andromeda in 1982, serving in her in the Falklands conflict and took command of the aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal in 1985. He joined the staff of the Supreme Allied Command Europe in 1987 and then became Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Atlantic in 1989 before retiring in 1992. In retirement from the Navy, Sir James lived at St James’s Palace with his family during his 9 years (1992 – 2001) as her Majesty’s Marshal of the Diplomatic Corps, acting as the Queen’s link with the diplomatic community in London. He is married to Jean Weatherall and they have two sons and three daughters. Recently Sir James was kind enough to invite us down to the country home he shares with Jean
“Kurt Hahn was an eccentric man with very strong independent views, a tough Headmaster, he and his team ran the school in a maverick way but he was an expert at getting the best out of people. An idealist in every sense – he truly believed in the 6 Round Square Ideals of Democracy, Service, Environmentalism, Internationalism, Adventure and Leadership, which Box Hill School continues to thrive on. He was a great actor and very intelligent, this was before the days of corporate governance. The boys were quite naturally made aware of the need to conduct their expeditions in a safe manner.
We were routinely sent out to ‘keep watch’ on our own in Force eight storms, those experiences certainly hardened me up!” Roy McComish, Box Hill School’s founding Headmaster was your Housemaster and Art teacher at Gordonstoun, how did you get involved with his ‘little’ school. “Roy McComish was a wonderful Housemaster and Art teacher running very popular Saturday morning Art projects at Gordonstoun, a properly dressed and charming man normally seen in his duffle coat! After I left Gordonstoun I lost touch with Roy McComish until 1985 when I was Captain of the Royal Navy Presentation Team and he came to hear me speak at a meeting in Dorking. After the presentation, Roy joined me and it was then that we reignited our friendship, he seized the opportunity to invite me to see
Profile
his young school the very next day. I was impressed with Box Hill School and the way that Roy wanted to educate the students. An avid advocate of Kurt Hahn’s educational principles he ensured their installation at Box Hill School from the beginning. As we chatted in the grounds he suggested to me that when I retired from the Navy I should come back and become the Chairman at his ‘little school’. Roy kept an eye on me and the day I retired from the Navy, a brown envelope arrived on my desk reminding me of my promise to become Chairman of Box Hill School! How could I refuse?” You spent 10 years as Chairman of Governors at Box Hill School, how has the school changed over those years? “When I became Chairman of Governors in the 1990s (whilst also being Chairman of Governors at Gordonstoun) the country was in the midst of a recession and we needed to move quickly to ensure that we could continue the good works that Roy had initiated under the new and brilliant headship of Rodney Atwood.

Building Blocks
For Future Generations www.boxhillschool.com/ Box-Hill-School-Bricks
We made some very proactive practical changes – such as cutting the length of the board meeting’s to one and half hours, managing the tricky situation of the schools cash flow and cost cutting whilst still staying true to the school’s and Kurt Hahn’s ideals and aims. In 2003 when I stepped down as Chairman of Governors the school was in a healthy situation, financially stable and the number of children was well above 300. I am happy to say that the subsequent Chairmen have carried on with the good work, and I am proud to be still involved with Box Hill School, as Warden, albeit in a more ‘hands off’ manner!” Since your retirement as the Chairman of Governors you have Chaired Boards of many other businesses including Marwell Zoo and as President of WWF (UK), what sparked your interest in conservation? “I developed a love of wildlife when I went on holiday to the north of Scotland with a childhood friend. A love of bird watching developed into a love of fishing and spread to a general
11
interest in international animal conservation. I was invited to become Chairman of the Marwell Preservation Trust by founder Dr John Knowles. I introduced a committee system and increased the involvement of trustees with the executive in support of the Chief Executive Officer. It has been a challenging but rewarding association and I was delighted to share my recent 80th Birthday celebrations at the Zoo with my Box Hill colleagues.”
