Canford School, Canford Magna, Dorset

This large country house dates from 1825-36. It was designed by Edward Blore for William Ponsonby, Lord de Mauley, in a mainly Tudor style. It was partly remodelled and considerably extended in 1848-1853 by Sir Charles Barry Junior for Sir John and Lady Charlotte Guest. Canford Manor was sold by the Guest family in 1923 to become a boys' public school, Canford School.
