Lowther College

Lowther College

Lowther College was a private school for girls in the late 19th and 20th centuries. The school was originally formed in 1896 at Lytham St. Annes in Lancashire, by Mrs. Florence Morris (later Lindley) [cite web| url=http://www.nlw.org.uk/cgi-bin/anw/fulldesc_nofr?inst_id=28&coll_id=2188&expand=| title=Lowther College| work=Archives Network Wales| accessdate=2007-12-01| ] .

In 1920 the school moved to Bodelwyddan Castle as tenants, however Lowther College purchased the property five years later, in 1925 [Tony Haskell, "Ibid.", p.133] . Mrs Lindley remained headmistress of the college until 1927, when the college was sold to Allied Schools

The school is thought to be one of the first private schools for girls to have its own swimming pool. It also had a private golf course. The Lowther College Tableux were well regarded within the community for their musical excellence.

Boys were admitted from 1977, however the school closed in 1982 due to financial problems [cite web| url=http://www.bodelwyddan-castle.co.uk/college.htm| title=Lowther College| work=Bodelwyddan Castle| accessdate=2007-12-01| ] .
