Wednesday saw our students travel to their first academic workshops.   Knebworth House, former seat of the Earl of Lytton, Viscount Knebworth, hosted a lesson in gothic writing.  Our pupils explored the magnificent interior and grounds of the historic venue before putting pen to paper and creating their own spooky stories inspired by the Tudor Gothic architecture and haunting contents of the house.
