Fyling Hall School
Fyling Hall is an independent co-educational day and boarding school situated near the small village of Fylingthorpe, near Robin Hood's Bay, 7 miles (11 km) south east of Whitby, North Yorkshire, England. Founded in 1923 by Mab Bradley, the school was then run for thirty years by her daughter, Clare White, who still takes an active part in the life of the school. The current headmaster is Ken James, who came to Fyling Hall in April 2008 from St John's School, Leatherhead.
The school is centred around a Georgian country house that dates from 1810 and is situated in 45 acres (180,000 m2) of wooded hillside within the North York Moors National Park.

From the loose earth and rub against his eyes
A fist of trees, and the whole country tremble
In the exultant labor of his rise;”
