From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The school pictured in 2015

Mostyn House School was a school that was originally opened in Tarvin by Edward Henry Price, and moved to Parkgate, Cheshire, in 1855.[1] From 1862 until it closed in 2010,[2] it was run by the Grenfell family, originally as a boys' boarding school, and latterly as a co-educational day school.

Design

The chapel was designed by Frederick Fraser and Warburton, with input by the headmaster of the school, A. G. Grenfell. It is built in red Ruabon brick with terracotta dressings, and has a red tiled roof with a finial at the east end. The chapel consists of a nave and chancel in a single range, an apsidal east end, and a west bellcote. The furnishings are in collegiate style, designed by Frederick Fraser. In the windows is painted glass made by Morton and Company of Liverpool.[3][4] The school and its chapel are Grade II listed buildings.[4][5]

Carillon

The school's carillon was commissioned in 1918 to commemorate old boys who had died in the war. Upon the closure of the school in 2010 the bells were transported and reinstalled at Charterhouse School in line with the wishes of A.G. Grenfell who wished that if ever Mostyn House ceased to be a school the carillon would be offered to Charterhouse so "that they may go on speaking to English boys as long as England lasts".[6]

Notable alumni

Sir Wilfred Grenfell (1865–1940), medical missionary to Newfoundland and Labrador, was born in Parkgate and was a pupil at the school.[7] The 6th Duke of Westminster's children attended Mostyn House, including Hugh Grosvenor, 7th Duke of Westminster.[8]
