Welcome

Haileyburiana is a miscellany of things I got up to as President of the Haileybury Society in 2010 - 2011 and random musings on things to do with Haileybury. Whether you are an OH, a current pupil or parent, a teacher or other friend of the school I hope you will find something interesting here. The blog is no longer regularly updated, but there may still be occasional posts.

New Guv's Test 3

The answer to question 2 is "Under the Tables." The benches, tables and chairs in Hall were all carved by Robert Thompson of Kilburn, N Yorks, whose signature was a mouse on each picee made. He coloured the oak he used by 'fuming' it, which gives the rich colour and draws out the grain. Despite the heavy use it has received, the furniture in Hall is enduring as ever.

Question three of your New Guv's Test is: Where at Haileybury are the Penthouses?
