Woolverstone Hall

Woolverstone Hall

Woolverstone Hall is a large country house five miles south of the centre of Ipswich, Suffolk, England and is set in 80 acres on the banks of the River Orwell. Built in 1776 by William Berners, it is one of the finest examples of Palladian architecture in England. The Hall itself is a Grade I listed building. It was requisitioned as a naval training establishment during World War II and, after the war, the London County Council took it over as a boys' boarding school--Woolverstone Hall School. In 1992 the property was sold to the Girls' Day School Trust, who relocated Ipswich High School to Woolverstone Hall.
