In 1925 the Woodard Corporation established a girls' preparatory boarding school in the mansion of Duncombe Park, near Helmsley.

Baldersby Park House was built in the early 18th century by Sir William Robinson to the designs of Colen Campbell.

[2] In 1845 Lord de Grey sold Newby Park to the railway magnate George Hudson.

The four houses, named after local abbeys are Byland (blue), Fountains (yellow), Jervaulx (green) and Rievaulx (red).

To celebrate the 90th Anniversary the QMA is organizing a number of events including a return visit to Duncombe Park as well as a reunion at the school.
