A
former Elizebethan mansion house, Stonyhurst College was
begun in 1592 by local landowner Sir Richard Shireburn.
After falling into a state of great disrepair, the building
was eventually handed over to The Society of Jesuits in
1794.
Since that time, Stonyhurst has been considerably extended
and today is regarded as one of the most eminent public
schools in the country. |
