Celebrating 150 Years of New House with an anniversary booklet...

New House came into being 150 years ago, in 1873, and we have just published a limited edition booklet to celebrate this significant anniversary. As many of you will know, the House began as a new Headmaster’s House with room for his family and up to 12 boarding pupils. It soon grew in both physical size and number of pupils, to stand alongside Old House, providing healthy competition in a new development for King’s - House Matches!
Andrew Leach, School Archivist

It has been fascinating to read about the rich history of New House, from its beginnings as home to the Headmaster with space for 12 boarders, through to the present day, accommodating around 70 boys. We are indebted to Andrew Leach and his encyclopaedic knowledge of the history of King’s and for finding such fascinating stories and photographs which encapsulate the past 150 years so well. It is a great privilege to be Housemaster of New House as it marks this significant milestone. 
Ashley Marshfield New Housemaster

I hope you enjoy reading this celebration of 150 years of life in New House and I am very grateful to our School Archivist, Andrew Leach  for all his hard work in creating such a fascinating booklet. 
Ian Wilmshurst, Headmaster
