Fyling Hall is a private,[1] co-educational day and boarding school[2] situated near the small village of Fylingthorpe, near Robin Hood's Bay, 7miles south east of Whitby, North Yorkshire, England. Founded in 1923 by Mab Bradley, the school was then run for thirty years by her daughter, Clare White.[3] The school is centred on a Georgian country house that dates from 1819 and is situated in 45acres of wooded hillside within the North York Moors National Park.
There was a hall here in 1632 when Sir Hugh Cholmeley, 4th Baronet was born here. However the present building dates from around 1819 and is grade II listed.
There are four boarding houses at Fyling Hall:
The school motto is 'The days that make us happy make us wise' (John Masefield).[4]
Fyling Hall School offers a wide variety of sports for all pupils. Most important amongst these, and shaping daily life at Fyling Hall, are rugby, hockey, cross country, cricket, horse riding and rounders.[5]
The main building of Fyling Hall is used in G.P Taylor's novel Shadowmancer as the vicarage of Obadiah Demurral. The vicarage is destroyed by cannon fire from Jacob Crane's smuggler ship 'The Magenta'.
