Title: School Chapel, Baylis House, Stoke Poges Lane, Slough. About 1905 [Go to resource]
Description: In 1830 the Butt family opened a Catholic boys boarding school in Baylis House. The school was first known as the 'Classical Academy', then the 'Catholic Classical Academy' and finally the 'St. James' Catholic Classical and Commercial Academy'. One of the illustrious pupils was Cardinal Merry del Val who became Secretary of State to Pope Pius X. In 1907 the Butt family moved and the school closed. In 1911 the building was sold by the Duke of Leeds to a Mr Wood of the Food Establishment Reform. It is now Baylis House Banqueting and Conference Centre.
