Dunchurch-Winton Hall

Dunchurch-Winton Hall was a boarding and day Preparatory School for boys and girls from 31⁄2 to 131⁄2 years.

Pupils joined the Main School at 71⁄2 while from 31⁄2 to 71⁄2 they attended the Pre-Preparatory Department which was housed separately in the grounds.

Originally built as a hunting lodge for the Duke of Buccleuch in 1840,[1] the School was an amalgamation in 1940[2] of Dunchurch Hall founded in 1868 and Winton House, founded in 1863 by the botanist and author Charles Alexander Johns.

The school stood in 25 acres (10 ha) of gardens and playing fields in the Warwickshire village of Dunchurch.

Dunchurch-Winton Hall closed on 9 July 1993 and was subsequently sold to English Courtyard who used land from part of the playing fields to build retirement cottages and apartments.
