General notes
A view of the College showing the old Hall, the end of the new South Front and the Church of St. Peter on the right. Stonyhurst College was founded in 1593 as The English College by the Society of Jesus, the Jesuits, in St. Omer then part of the Spanish Netherlands. It was founded to provide an education for English boys in the Catholic faith that was banned in England. It remained on the Continent until 1794 when, under pressure fron the Fench Revolution, it moved to Stonyhurst, an estate at that time owned by the Weld family who had been students of the College in Europe. The South Front was built by the firm of Dunn and Hansom between 1877 and 1889 to replace earlier buildings of 1810. To the right of the front is the Home Farm, the Jesuit gardens and Observatory. To the right of the main building is St. Peter's Church built between 1832 and 1835 and behind that the Main Entrance between the Twin Towers, part of the original Hall. To the left are the Mill and sports fields.
