A message from Warminster School:

SEARCH FOR ST MONICA’S OLD GIRLS

Warminster School is calling on former pupils of St Monica’s School, to help keep the spirit and history of their old school alive.

Following our wonderful co-ed 50th Anniversary celebrations in 2023, the special 1973 Club Lunch and tour in 2024, we’ve been thrilled to receive a steady stream of photographs, magazines, and memorabilia from old girls. These precious items have already helped us uncover details about former Head Mistresses, Head Girls, and school life – but there is still so much more to discover.

Please get in touch with our St Monica’s Ambassador, Pam, at St.MonicaSchool@proton.me to share your memories, memorabilia, or simply to stay in touch.

We’re also delighted to confirm that our next 1973 Club Lunch will take place on Saturday 25 April 2026, at Warminster School. This annual event celebrates the year when Lord Weymouth’s Grammar School and St Monica’s School came together to form Warminster School.

Join us for a day of nostalgia, friendship, and shared memories – and help us ensure that the story of St Monica’s is remembered for years to come.

We’d love to hear from anyone connected with St Monica’s. Whether you have photos tucked away in an album, stories to share, or simply want to reconnect with old friends, your memories help us piece together the history of this remarkable school. Every contribution matters. Please get in touch with Laura Gibson, Head of Development and Alumni Relations, lgibson@warminsterschool.org.uk

John Halliday, in a hardback exercise book he titled Warminster Notes, in which he compiled various handwritten notes about Warminster and district for local history slide shows he was giving during the 1980s, penned the following:

St. Monica’s School [at Vicarage Street, Warminster] – The original school building was formed from the main block of “Old Langley’s Farm” of the 15th/16th century. The half-timbered and stone facing is still preserved.

Wilfred Middlebrook, in his newspaper serialisation The Changing Face Of Warminster, written in 1970 and published in 1971, noted:

St. Monica’s School [at Vicarage Street, Warminster], enlarged and improved at a cost of over £37,000 in 1961, was formed from the main block of what was once Langley’s Farm, which dates back to the 15th or 16th century. The half-timbering and stone-facing is still preserved.
