During the warÌýKnapp House at East Anstey, near Tiverton, was requisitioned to house Hillsbrow Boys School being evacuated from Redhill in Surrey.

Ìý

At the end of the war it continued as a school called Kestrels and was well established as a small boys prep school until the mid to late 60's, run by the owner Richard Stapledon whose father had built the house originally as a shooting lodge.

In the two yearsÌýthat Michele RomaineÌýhas been at the houseÌýshe has frequently had the bell rung and been greeted by "old boys" who just want to have a quick look.

"A few have asked us to host a reunion and we are now trying to find former pupil across the area who were at school here and might want to join in," she says.

"As you might imagine they all have the most amazing stories- the railway ran along the bottom of the land (before Beeching) and they used to come by train, their bags picked up in a pony and trap whilst they walked to school in a crocodile!"

Ìý

We'll meet Michele and see if we can find some of the 'old boys' for the reunion planned for March 2014.
