Read MoreThe imposing Canford School was once the battlemented house of the Guests, and Lord Wimborne had a coach road built with two bridges crossing main roads to enable him to drive straight to Bournemouth Central Station. The house is a mixture of 19th century buildings. A mock-Tudor house of 1825 was bought by the Guests, of Welsh iron-founding fame, and enlarged from 1848 by Sir Charles Barry with towers and turrets. Embedded within the building is the much older 'John of Gaunt's Kitchen' which, in its time, had housed Salisburys, Montagues, Beauforts and Mountjoys. Boys at the School can sit and study under the trees that were probably there when the Black Prince came.
