Summary

[edit]
Description

Norwood House and garden, Beverley, 1937 Norwood House was built in the late 1750s for Jonathan Midgley, a successful Lawyer and three times Mayor of Beverley. This image shows the rear of the house, which became part of Beverley High School for Girls. In 1907, the house was purchased by the East Riding County Council from the owners at the time, the Broadley family, for use as a school. The school opened in 1908, with Miss Rossiter as the headmistress, and 199 pupils, with Norwood House forming a major part of the school’s accommodation. It was used as classrooms, staff living accommodation, boarding pupils’ dormitories, library, kitchen and school dining room. The Library to the left of the building continued to be used by the school until 2000. The house is now used as offices.
