Denstone College — school buildings and grounds

According to Pevsner, the building is Victorian Gothic "with sweeping composition" and is built on an 'H' principle with longer wings to the back and shorter to the front of school. Denstone began life as a school in 1873, with 46 boarding boys as pupils, organised into eight houses named after benefactors.

Numbers remained small until the First World War, when they swelled to 314. Expansion between the wars was limited although a classroom block opened in 1926. During the Second World War playing fields were ploughed up to provide for vegetable growing.
