EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the grandeur and history of Bearwood House, located in the picturesque town of Wokingham, Surrey. Once home to the esteemed Walter family, renowned for their association with The Times newspaper, this magnificent country house has witnessed a remarkable transformation over the years. During World War I, Bearwood House served as a military convalescent home, providing solace and care to wounded soldiers. In the 1920s, it underwent yet another metamorphosis when it became a Royal Merchant Navy School. This prestigious institution played an integral role in shaping young minds and preparing them for careers at sea. In 1961, Bearwood House took on its current identity as an independent boarding school known as Reddam House School. Today, this historic building continues to be a beacon of education and excellence for students from all walks of life. The photograph showcases not only the architectural splendor of Bearwood House but also its idyllic surroundings. The avenue leading up to the entrance exudes elegance and charm while offering a glimpse into the rich heritage that lies within these walls. Through Damian Grady's lens, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how this stately residence has evolved into an educational institution synonymous with academic achievement and personal growth. It serves as a reminder that even buildings steeped in history can adapt and thrive amidst changing times while retaining their timeless beauty.
