Wispers School : ウィキペディア英語版 | Wispers School Wispers School was a British independent boarding school for girls aged between 11 and 18 which was founded in 1947 and which closed in 2008 after 61 years' operation. For the first part of its life it was based at Wispers, a large country house in Midhurst, West Sussex, UK; it was also briefly based at West Dean House, also in West Sussex, and for the last 40 years of its existence at Oak Hall, Haslemere in Surrey. ==Midhurst== In 1946 Helen Brown, the wife of a vicar, bought Herries School in Cookham Dean in Berkshire. In 1947 her husband needed to be confined to a TB clinic near the south coast, and accordingly the school was to move to Wispers, a large country house designed by the architect Richard Norman Shaw, near Midhurst in West Sussex. For the start of the autumn term 1947 Herries School was split, with the local children remaining at the non-boarding junior school part of Herries in Cookham Dean, and the boarding contingent moving to Wispers.〔Parkes, Roger, n.d., ''Herries: A History of a Happy School'' Cookham Dean: Herries Preparatory School〕 Herries School at Wispers was renamed Wispers School for the start of the autumn term 1949. Writer Angela Lambert and actress Susannah York both attended Wispers School in the early 1950s, while it was based at Wispers.
