Background
History
Cranborne Chase School opened in 1946 at Crichel House in the village of Moor Crichel in Dorset, England. In 1961, the school relocated to New Wardour Castle near Tisbury in Wiltshire and extensively renovated the building, which had fallen into a severe state of disrepair. In 1985, the school had 130 girls, aged between 11 and 18 years, and 26 teachers. The school closed in July 1990.
