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]
The school opened in 1858 as the Hermitage school for boys, girls, and infants.[4] Following the establishment of a new boys' school and then an infants' school this building became a girls' school in 1871.
The hall is today used for a variety of community purposes including a school of dance[5] and the Fowler Newsham Hall Counselling Project.[6]
