St. Joseph's Catholic School exhibition at Croome Court

The second visit to Croome, the National Trust property / estate in over 5 years.

St. Joseph's Catholic School exhibition.

St. Joseph's Catholic School
Croome was a boarding school between the years of 1950 to 1979 The Archdiocese of Birmingham purchased the estate, and housed boys between the ages of 6 to 13 years old. Like many other Catholic schools, it was run by Nuns, who ruled the school with a strict regime
The boys travelled from many areas of the country. St. Joseph's became their home, until they left for senior school, Besford Court to continue their education
Many of the rooms in the main house were turned into classrooms and dormitories and the Red Wing was an area where the pupils could relax. One of the houses in the private stable block area was used as a chapel.
Chores like setting the tables, washing up, sweeping and polishing would happen throughout the day
After chores were completed, the boys were allowed outside "We had a swing and roundabout in the grounds of Croome The roundabout is still next to the South Lawn.
