Other information

Before moving here Miss Radford ran her school at 23 Nevill Street between 1910 to 1920.

The French Freemasons, from the paroled French prisoners, set up a chapter here in the former school. Four of the masonic certificates issued in 1813 and 1814 are kept in St John’s Church, the present meeting place for the Masonic Lodges.

An advertisement for Hope House school appears is in Abergavenny Museum, dated 1826. The school had a tennis court behind.
