Fowler Newsam Hall is a Grade II listed group of Victorian school buildings. Originally the Saint Ann's Junior Mixed School, they become dilapidated during the nineteen sixties. They were refurbished by Rackham Construction in 1978/9 and reopened on 1 July 1979. [1] The charity set up in 1966 to raise funds for this purpose was closed in 2013. [2]
Fowler Newsam, a wealthy business man who lived near the site, was the primary benefactor of both St Ann's Church opposite the hall on Avenue Road and the school itself. [3]
"...a 19th brick building with three gables of varying width. A recessed entrance has a pointed arched doorway with a bell tower."
— Edith's Streets. [4]
The school opened in 1858 as the Hermitage school for boys, girls, and infants. [5] Following the establishment of a new boys' school and then an infants' school this building became a girls' school in 1871. [5]
The hall is today used for a variety of community purposes including a school of dance [6] and the Fowler Newsham Hall Counselling Project. [7]
