Cobham Hall independent day boarding school girls Kent England Tudor manor Grade I listed Round Square school
Cobham Hall is an independent day and boarding school for girls in Cobham, Kent. The school is housed in a Tudor era manor, which is now Grade I listed. It is a Round Square school and a member of the Girls' Schools Association. There has been a manor house on the site since the 12th century. The current building consists of a pair of Tudor wings built for William Brooke, 10th Baron Cobham in the 16th century and a later classical central block, and a kitchen court to the rear added in 1771-73. The most notable feature of the interior is the two storey Gilt Hall. Cobham Hall remained the family home of the Earls of Darnley until 1957 and is now home to the school. It is open to the public on a limited number of days each year. The building has also been used as a film set. A scene in Agent Cody Banks 2 in which Frankie Muniz fights Keith Allen in a room full of priceless treasures was filmed in the Gilt Hall. Scenes from an adaption of Bleak House were also filmed outside the building, and it was also used in a few scenes in the comedy sketch show Tittybangbang. The Hall is used as the school in the 2008 film Wild Child. Cobham Hall was founded as an international boarding school for girls aged between eleven and eighteen in 1962. The school is unique as it has a large contingent of international students. Just over 50% are local British while the rest represent some 30 nationalities.
