BROCKHILL
This
is a privately-owned, terraced house, situated between Dersingham and
Ingoldisthorpe on the main road to Hunstanton.
The house is owned by Miss A. Godfrey, whose work is much appreciated by
all concerned. At one time she lived alone in the house with her dog
"Pat."
When Brockhill was first established as a school boarding house, there
were only four lodgers, but three years ago the number was increased to
ten, owing to more, pupils being taken into the school, Last year an
additional room was built on the "L" shaded landing of the
first floor. The bedrooms, very well decorated, are arranged as such,
room one, four single beds, occupied by J. Wallington, P. Lawrence, R.
George and, B. Gunner; room two: one bunk occupied by M. Grieg and R.
Jones; and room three: two bunks occupied by W. Van 'Reimsdyke, R.
Thomas, P. Murray and R. Munge.
The day and life of “Brockhillians” slightly varies from the rest of
the school. We get up at 7.15 a.m., wash, dress and make our beds. We then
go, down, to the breakfast room, which ,has a Window onto the
main road. After breakfast, we walk up the wooded lanes to
school, Where at 8.45 a.m,
we are joined by the rest of the boarders from Heacham, and the other
privately-owned boarding house at Wolferton. The school routine is then
the same for everybody.
Tea, at the Shooting Lodge, is followed by an hour's compulsory
preparation period. At 9 p.m., the "Brockhillians" leave the
Shooting Lodge for their, boarding house, which they left 14 hours
previously.
