Bembridge School
John Howard Whitehouse established a boarding school for boys on 16 May 1919. He had previously, in 1914, purchased two fields overlooking Whitecliff Bay and used them as a site for his Secondary School Boy's Camp for deprived children and the adjacent house for his own use. He was influenced by the writings of John Ruskin and those writings influenced the teaching at Bembridge School. Mr. Whitehouse was a collector of Ruskins books, letters, manuscripts etc. and established two galleries at the school to house his collection.(Isle of Wight County Press - 17 June 1994 page 51 - school's 75th anniversary)
