In this explore we visit a grade II listed building built in 1876.
The historic building was used as a various schools throughout the last century up until closure. It tried to become the state schools answer to Eton but failed funding and development meant it had to close its doors in 2017.
Completely untouched and preserved, join us as we look around this magnificent building!

13:17 the little cupboard seen on the left was once known in my time as the Tuck Shop where the kids like myself were able to buy sweets
2:19 on the left was main assembly hall & right was the main classrooms. 2 floors with cooking area for learning to cook
Hi Alex & Ed, wow that place was still in a really nice condition, a very cool explore you two. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx 🥰
A beautiful place brilliantly captured! The quality of your content just keeps on getting better! Thank you for letting me see this!
Thank you so much LucieFur! Appreciate the kind words! 😁😁👍👍
Was called St Cuthmans boarding school where a lot of kids were sent that had learning dificulties & in some cases certain disabilities. Kids who had ADHD would have been sent here as ADHD then was not understood.
Oh wow I could have been sent there!
Ed's a natural born point man, they always take it for the squad! Number one rule while on patrol, is to keep moving.Excellent re-con mission you have cleared a good position to bivouac! At ease gentleman!
Whenever I see one of your videos documenting places like this I always think how easily it could be shelter for homeless people, and how 'they' would rather a place like this be left to rot. What a wonderful world we live in.
Beautiful old house love the timber in there and the fireplace is ace great find both.
Great explore - interesting to see what was left in the classrooms/rooms when one day
the school closed its doors for good - always seems so sad!
The wood panelling and fireplaces are amazing - would have been a fabulous school😊
Do hope its features can be preserved by whoever takes it on. Great filming Alex 👍
Thank you Trish, an amazing find this one, so cool to walk around knowing how untouched it was. Being grade II listed, I'm sure the building will get the care it needs!
Really great explore. Loved all the wood. Thank you.
Thank you Miranda. Glad you enjoyed that 👍
That building is absolutely amazing,loved all the beautiful fireplaces and the wood work🇨🇦
This gave me real Mallory Towers vibes and the fun fantasies i had of boarding school whilst reading them. Midnight feasts and adventures 😂😂
I live the William Morris wallpaper (called-William Morris Vintage “Spring thicket” Floral Design) in the room at 13:12. William Morris, a founder of the British Arts and Crafts Movement, was especially known for his wallpaper designs. These were created for the firm he founded with his partners in 1861, Morris, Marshall, Faulkner and Company, and later for Morris and Company. Next time show us that stuff too!!!!!
Thanks for the info! I am always learning and will be sure to keep an eye out 😁👍
Great explore yet again. Another beautiful building.. 😀
Thanks Raven appreciate it 😁👍
Just been there , when we tried to make our way into the kitchen the alarms went off , we hurriedly made our way out to find one of the people from the houses along the road had called the police , she came at us and tried to stop us from getting away but managed to go through the orchard . Stunning building but it is now in such a state :(
Wow that was a close call then! I suppose it's good that the locals actually act on the alarm, otherwise it would be in a lot worse state. Sorry you didn't get to look round though.
I went to this school between 1983-1990.it has changed over the years.as it was st.cuthmans back then.i loved watching this bring back a lot of memories.the old classrooms have gone. But the main building don’t look to bad.love to go back one day.
Main area where all pupils used to line up eveytime whilst waiting to go to dining area for their food. 1st door on the right tucked into right hand corner was the staff room. the next right hand door was the laundery drying room with a giant fan in. next mini corridor led to infants school area, next is staff toilet. Bottom left was girls toilets and shoer area. further down was the Pantry where all food was stored leading to the kitchen. Behind this image was the kitchen washing up area
lovely house. Interesting video and I enjoyyed it. Thank you Alex very much 🥰💖💖
You're welcome Jackie 😁👍 it was so much fun to explore!!
Love the old stair way! The old part was grand. Main stairs are amazing😊
I always find these sorts of videos on schools etc. a little sad to see! Since thousands of kids probably grew up living here and had some of their best memories in those halls. Still an amazing video documenting an amazing place that otherwise would’ve been left undocumented for however long!! 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks Hugo. Yeah so much history with this one. If only the walls could talk!
Cheers for watching 😁👍
What a great explore, that staircase & paneling was magnificent 😍
Thanks Karen 😁👍
Another very interesting and great explore once again. I love it very much. Thank you Alex.👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Cheers Sharon, glad you liked! This was a little gem of a place 😁👍
Thank you for that great video it was in good condition bet you found it a great experience to do thank you again
Cheers Ray, no worries! It was so cool to explore this place for sure 👍👍
Thanks guys !! Very Interesting !!
You're welcome 😁 👍
Just now watching this! 22:34 That PC is newer than mine!!😭🤣 I would see if they were going to sell it but, it's long gone now!😞 25:19 🤢😱 Gnats/fruit flies! I'm outta there!😅 30:31 Looks like a PC processor but, i ain't ever seen one like that!🤔 31:28 Smoky Sue smokin a J!!🤣
That place is massive and cool! I'm glad you got in before it got all smashed. Thank you for taking us around this amazing vacant haven! Thanks to Ed too!👍
Excellent explore 👍💯
Thanks as always Megamills 😁👍👍👍
They can’t do to much to the building as it grade 2 listed, and the whole building is old, I went here 1984 to 1990 when it was St Cuthmans it was a lovely
12:03 fire alarm system, always been there but often updated. door to left is 2nd door to dining room, door on right was the main office & next door on the right was headmasters main office where many a caneing or 4 rulers toook place
Just discovered your site, and I'm glad I did, thanks
Thanks Fran, glad your enjoying the content and welcome 😁👍
This place was so good to explore left in such good condition tbh. thanks again Vacanthaven epic as always 😎
Pretty rare to find an untouched gem like this! Glad you enjoyed Louise 😁👍
Well if you got tired in that explore least you got somewhere to put your head down 🤣. Great find that enjoyed it. 👍
It's not the worst place in the world to do an all nighter mate 😁🤟
We had a room like those with beds, and it was called the sick room, if students were feeling below par we were sent to the nurse and she took over.
Someone somewhere must still own this absolutely fabulous building, but the problem would be what else would you use it for ?, and who would have the money 💰?.
I suppose it will be luxury accommodation, the upkeep on these houses are eye watering for one person.
7:10 main hallway 2nd floor. Main houseparents quarters are directly behind, where you just came out was the headmasters sleeping quarters
Thanks for this one. Such a beautiful building, the staircase was in perfect condition as was the fireplaces. This would make beautiful Private apartments, as Schools and Hotels are not making money anymore. 🇦🇺
Thanks Liz!
Yeah it was a real cool find this place, amazing condition. I just hope that it gets rescued and looked after.
Thanks for watching 😁
@@VacantHaven
I was surprised there was no assembly hall! I grew up in London many moons ago and every school had at least one hall strange that. 💕🇦🇺
Love your videos keep up the good work
Thank you so much Lynn, appreciate the kind words 😁👍
27:36 this is where all or most staff turned up in their cars, was known as the back entrance
the wood work done is is very nice and still intact
Hi Alex, another great location… 2 things
1.. your friend seemed in such a hurry all the time, he was nearly running !!
2, I did feel a bit dizzy watching this one, you seemed to move the camera around quite fast most of the time
I am not moaning, (you do a fantastic job).. just an observation 😁
We call him Fast Eddie 😉 and yeah I think I was over excited in this explore, literally just came across it!
Thanks for the comment Cat 👍👍
This is pretty slow for Eddy 😆
33.:09 walled area seen ahead up the slope was the allotments for the pupils which also had a massive apple orchard
I used to live in a place like that but smaller and did it all up it looked beauiful and the garden I sold it and moved
28:26. known as Chanctonbury ring. another builing where aother children stayed, this was also for parking the school mini bus and staff vehicles
35:44 little building opposite was where all sports equipment were kept
8:41 door on the right of the stairs was known as the senior boys room with seperate toilet to the left.
That ‘tower’ in the cabinet of the server room looks like a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) it’s a battery backup for the Comm unit.
Also as an FYI, I’ve seen in a few videos that you assume the PIR detectors are not working if they do not light up, 90% of PIR’s have a connector (jumper) inside them that if removed will disable the red LED, it will still work as normal but won’t turn the led in when it detects movement.
That wallpaper at 13:55 looked like a William Morris pattern.
Good find mate great video 👊
Nice one buddy, yeah crazy place to explore this mate!
9:00 this bit was known as the junior boys dormitories west end & junior girls dormotories to the left
It is very beautiful school and I love ❤ to 🚶♀️ though it also I love all the woodwork and the stars
Excellent mate 👍
Cheers Mr Compton!
New subscriber cheers guys best wishes from Northern Ireland UK.My 2 kid's think I'm daft for liking school as much as I did.I wonder did they light the fire's in the winter time.
Thank you for checking out the video Margaret!
Yeah these old buildings were a nightmare to heat, and now the cost of modernising them is eye watering!
I went to school here it closed the year after I left was really gutted it had x
Magnificent building and such a shame really!
Thanks for watching
I thought this was Wadhurst College from the thumb nail then I thought it might be st.cuthmans near redford and comments below confirm!
Exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :)
😁👍 thanks for this
@@VacantHaven :)
Probably a private home back in the 19th Century, looks very much like a Norman Shaw design.
The drums!! 😱
Just walking around the woods. F@cking brilliant.
I was working here as a sub teacher in 2017 when it closed down. They used to bus the kids down from London on a Monday morning and back up to London Friday afternoon. The inside hasn’t changed much to be honest.
Cheers Ciao, it's a shame that it had to be left in this state, and I hope it gets the TLC it needs. Thanks for watching 👍
Love the banter you have, sounds like a old married couple 😂😂
Guys that was a great video, How the other half went to school eh, 😉🤣
🤣🤣
2:03 original modern part of the school seperate fro main building. allegadly blown down by a storm
Area with blue blinds on ground floor was headmasters suite
2:06 someone gave up on life and left the broom
🤣👍
Power-Plate is a machine that gives the body's muscles a high-speed workout by using vibrations to stimulate them to contract and relax.
14:51 was the headmaster suite
5:48 one of many dormitories. Original beds were all wooden
19: 40 smaller second dining room
hi guys this school is humungous such a beautiful school only one can dream about such ashame they didn't get the permission to keep it running .I bet there was much fun .and must of been so sad on the day of the last bell for children and teachers .the frame work and panelling .stairs and that is amazing .such ashame that can't continue to be a school .loving the old bath amazing .you guys are too funny nice to see you having a laugh along the way
8:40 back spiral staircase
now being used for police dog training and the owners are turning it into apartments as they are fed up of people trashing the place
Why Ed do you not put stuff back.
Instead of rotting all that incredible wood, windows, doors, banisters, etc. should be repurposed.
For boys or girls? Both?
For both, in the end it was just year 10-11's
Love your e xplorations they are the best but please leave this Ed character at home for me he spoils it controversial maybe just my opinion otherwise ur thebest
Can you do a video without Blasphemy please,thanks.
5:09
Young Offenders Institute.
tic tic tic
Fun!!! :)
Looking like a school on Jersey Island... just sayin
❤❤❤❤😂
Spend £10 million doing it up and it will be lovely for our dinghy sailing friends.
Squatters rights??
Why are you two so worried about alarms, You didnt break and enter, You dont cause criminal damage or carry spray paint. All you have is recording equipment. What are they going to do? Nice punch bag skills.
You never know what they're gonna do, that's why we don't wanna get caught lol
Well the police can only ask you to leave, but yes an angry owner maybe different haha, good point.@@VacantHaven
With all the people that need housing this could easily be made over into emergency housing it’s such a waste for such a beautiful building to sit idle and have areas in need of repairs due to no one keeping it safe, be safe and thanks for such a beautiful building to see and enjoy!
Ed's a natural born point man, they always take it for the squad! Number one rule while on patrol, is to keep moving.Excellent re-con mission you have cleared a good position to bivouac! At ease gentleman!
I'll pass the message on Fred, cheers mate. Although I wouldn't count on him in an actual battleground 😉😁👍
15:48 going down into the basement, this was where there was another classroom. knitting and embroidery was taught down here also including uniform repairs & is where the main electrical distribution board lies. always found it spooky down there.
You went here? Can you tell us more about it? Such a beautiful building.
That woodwork in this school was amazing. Such a beautiful place. A shame that its abandoned
Such a beautiful school, very prettily situated! I can't believe how every room had a fire place, such a nice touch! The weather just added to the ambiance of the place. It must have cost a fortune to go here in it's hey day, they even had a swimming pool!
It sure was! A Hidden gem tucked away in the countryside, my favourite explores! Cheers for watching 😁👍
Have a Beer on Anthony 👍
new to your channel, usually stay local to my area...Greater Manchester...great video really enjoyed it,looking forward to looking at your content.
Welcome Jo! Thanks for the kind words. And thanks for checking out the channel 😁👍
The good thing about this Grade II listed building is it can't be pulled down so hopefully some millionaire will buy it and modernise it. Loved the staircase and fireplaces. Some people will probably have good memories of this place. Ed's quick at moving about, he doesn't linger anywhere long lol. Nice boxing moves Alex. Loved the explore Alex thank you xxx
Thanks Gaynor! Yeah a right good little find this, such a shame but has been kept really well.....so far! And Yes you have to be quick to keep up with Eddie 🤣🥊
🤣🤣
Came across this building in 2018/19. Nice to see it's still in great condition. It's too big for a single person or family to live in, expect to see it turned into fancy flats.
Yeah pretty rare to find something as untouched as this! I hope the building gets the care it needs!
I went to Caythorpe Court college, when it closed it got bought by one of these outdoor adventure places PGL? It seems such a shame because of what they've done to the grounds, but I suppose at least the house is being looked after.
This could go as flats or something sort of business. Caythorpe was going to house immigrants at one point.
New subscribers here. Your documentary is superv. I like it.
Thanks! Really appreciate that 👍👍
That was an amazing look into past education . I was gobsmacked by the fact it was abandoned when there is such a shortage of space for so many useful and productive things . Thank you for your time and the careful way in which you approach each segment of your searches . Till next time , Stuart in Canada ..
This was my school from 1993 I loved this school.
awesome video bud what a find
Cheers Gav! Yeah real quality this one 👍👍
I went the other day its a police dog training place
Yeah I heard about that, I guess it's all about timing!
Awesome buddy nice one
Cheers Mike, this was a fun one to do mate!
It's always interesting to see what's been left behind. Thanks for taking us along.
Your welcome Abi. Thanks for watching
Love your work guys. From Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
Much appreciated thanks for checking us out!
Greetings from England 😁👍
Emergency housing it might make, but people also need work & educational & social opportunities nearby. If people are trying to build a life they need more than a bedroom.
