- Mrs Paul : St. Mary's Town & Country School
St. Mary's Town and Country School was an independent, non-denominational, co-educational progressive day and boarding school, founded in Belsize Park, London in 1937. It closed at the end of 1982.
St. Mary's Town and Country School started in 1937 when a small school called St. Mary's was taken over in co-operation with Mrs. Ena Curry, of Dartington Hall, as a progressive educational day school.
Despite its name - the "Town & Country" portion was a post-war addition - St. Mary's School was an independent (private) non-denominational co-educational school. To many of us former pupils, however, it was much more than this - it was a remarkable and unique learning experience.
I sat awe inspired, as you perched on a stool, à la Joan Baez, or our very own Julie Felix, the epitome of cool from my early teenage perspective. I see you have recalled some early schooling in the UK in interviews, but never mentioned the Town & Country School.
Thank you for the pleasant web site on St. Mary's Town & Country School. As Heinz Paul and my father were friends from school days on, I have 14 photos of him, single and within groups, but only the two of Elisabeth Selver.
