History

It is thought that the current buildings stand on the grounds of an early monastic settlement known as St. Mary’s, which was said to be a small satellite of Glastonbury. Some of the original stonework and garden terraces are believed to still be in place. St. Mary’s later became the site of High Wych School, which was first founded in Lyme Regis before relocating here in 1953. The school remained until the early 1980s, after which the buildings were converted into three residential apartments.
