Background
History
The Elms was originally the family home of William and Sarah Powell, built in 1896 to a design by T. P. Worthington. In 1941, the school became a day school and by 1945 had 353 pupils. The Diocese of Blackburn's Board of Finance ran the school from 1948. In 1987 the school became an associated Woodard School. Elmslie closed in 2000. On 15 March 1995 English Heritage designated the Elms a Grade II listed building.
