Originally a manor house constructed around 1853 by photographer Roger Fenton and named in honour of his wife, Grace, the estate later became the site of a children’s home in 1949. The manor’s conversion into Mount Grace School was completed in 1954, establishing one of the earliest purpose-built comprehensive schools in the UK.
