Part of a vast collection of buildings on the edge of Bushey. The chapel is flint faced, while the rest of the site is red brick. The school dates from 1902 and was designed by Gordon, Lowther and Gunton. It closed in 1977 and was briefly the United States International University (Europe). The site is now being redeveloped as Royal Connaught Park which much new building. However the chapel is surrounded by scaffolding and totally stripped of furnishings, decoration and floor. See the link below for the interior in a state of dereliction but complete as recently as 2013. It was designed by E.Doran Webb and built in 1900. The interior is visible though an rsj supported opening where the organ appears to have been removed. The foundation stone is at the east end but is difficult to see through green netting and scaffolding.

My Great Uncle was at the Royal Masonic School from 1900 -1904 (Knights) when he was 6-10 years old, but research tells me that the school in Wood Green moved in 1898 to Bushey…but did not open until 1902-3?! Can anyone indicate where he might have been for these lost 2-3 years?
There was no gap in between the school moving to Bushey from Wood Green in 1902
