Hampton House


February 2015
Thought to be desinged by the architect Edward Elmslie. Kelly's Trade Directory records Frederick Hookham living at Hampton House in 1924. He was born Oxford about 1846, and married in 1876 Catherine Ann Hyde, daughter of wealthy Wholesale-Clother Thomas Hyde of Caddecot House, Abingdon. In 1881 Frederick Hookham was headmaster of Kidderminster Grammer School; in 1901 he was a retired schoolmaster, probably living on inherited wealth, at Hampton House where he died on 6th November 1925.

Hampton House was then acquired by Ellerslie, a boarding school for girls, across the road. 'Margaret Prior Hall' by Goodwin and Cowper, was built in the grounds of Hampton House, circa 1980. Ellerslie Girl's School and Hillstone prep school merged with Malvern College in 1992. Ellerslie eventually moved to new buildings in College Road and the prep department moved to the Downs School at Colwall which was started by the Cadbury family, who were Quakers.

Malvern College has subsequently sold Hampton House to a developer and it is anticipated that it will be modernised and divided into apartments.
