The junior school was subsequently moved to The Manor House,we accessed the two schools by a zigzag path through the woods at the back of the Manor. Most of the junior classrooms were on the top floor though I remember doing “Music and Movement” in the basement and Art was in a conservatory with a eucalyptus tree growing in the centre of it. My first dormitory was room 12A which I shared with three other girls. To begin with both the senior and junior schools occupied the Tors Hotel. However, I soon joined the school as a boarder. I remember one night there was a dreadful storm and many fishing boats were destroyed. They were living in Bonneycott House at the time. At first I was boarded with a family from London who had a daughter at the school. I was five years old when I joined the school in Lynmouth. In 1940, Badminton School was evacuated from Bristol to Lynmouth which was fortunate as an incendiary bomb later fell on the junior school destroying the roof. In a special blog, she details her time living in the area… Maggie Fink went to school in Lynmouth between 19 – during the Second World War.
