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?
