The
Background :
Stonyhurst College is one of the finest boarding and day
schools for boys and girls of the Roman Catholic faith.
The College buildings, situated near the village of Hurst
Green, are truly magnificent and can be admired from the
road passing through the grounds. Originally Stonyhurst
was a mansion belonging to the Shireburn family from 1377
and rebuilt on a grand scale in 1537 by Sir Richard. Sir
Nicholas had the two large ponds flanking the drive built
in 1696, also the Eagle towers which are landmarks for
miles around. When Sir Nicholas died in 1717 this was
the end of the Shireburn line. The estates eventually
passed to the Welds and in 1794, Thomas Weld placed Stonyhurst
at the disposal of his old masters, the members of the
English Roman Catholic College of Jesuits at Liege in
France who had been driven from their establishment by
the revolution.
The Project : We successfully completed an extensive
Virtual Tour encompassing some 40 Rooms, because of the
planning and support of the college we were able to undertake
this project in only one day on site.
