Grace Dieu Manor (The Manor, Gracedieu)

  • House & Family History: Between 1933 and its closure in 2020, the house served as Grace Dieu Manor School, a Rosminian independent Catholic prep school. Amid a scandal of sexual abuse of students by former school staff, the Rosminians closed the school and put the house on the market in July of 2020. The sexual abuse was documented in the 2011 BBC documentary "Abused: Breaking the Silence."
