== History ==
Rose Hill School was originally established in Tunbridge Wells, Kent in 1832. In 1903 the then Headmaster, Mr Browning, founded a second Rose Hill School in Banstead, Surrey, taking the vast majority of the original school with him. Following the outbreak of World War II, this second Rose Hill School re-located to the small village of Alderley, near Wotton-under-Edge in Gloucestershire in 1939.〔〔 The school was based around the 20-acre site of Alderley House,〔 a Grade II Listed neo-Elizabethan 19th century manor house designed by Lewis Vulliamy〔 and built for Robert Blagden Hale between 1859 and 1863.〔Colvin, Howard M "A Biographical Dictionary of British Architects, 1600-1840" p.1080〕 The house was built on the site of a previous Jacobean property,〔 and the cellars from the original building remain to this day under the house.〔 On the ground floor of the house were located the dining room, the library, the Headmaster's study, two classrooms, the school office, a billiards hall, a small laundry, the staff room, the staff dining room and the kitchens, whilst the upper floors (including the former servants' quarters on the top floor) provided the Sick-Bay and all dormitory accommodation and washing facilities for boarding pupils, as well as living quarters for the matrons and some teachers. All of the dormitories were named after local villages, including Alderley, Badminton, Hawkesbury, Hillesley, Kingswood and Stinchcombe.
The sizeable grounds in which the school was situated included a number of spinneys, two grass tennis courts, a hard court, an outside swimming pool and a large playing field,〔 and it adjoined St Kenelm's Church.〔David Verey, Alan Brooks "Gloucestershire: The Cotswolds" p.134〕 The grounds directly to the west of the house were dominated by a mature Wellingtonia tree, a very tall specimen of the Giant Sequoia family, while on the other side of the house towards St Kenelm's Church were two Monkey-Puzzle trees.
