Babington House is a thriving independent school in Chislehurst in Kent.
Taking its name from a hugely influential nineteenth century intellectual and celebrity, the school orignially began life a few miles away in Eltham.
In this booklet, the fascinating founding years of the school are explored. A diverse selection of characters pass across the pages: from idealists and educationalists, to feminists and literary pioneers. It is the tale of one school, yet it is also the story of many lives.
