Founded in 1593, Stonyhurst College attracts visitors from far and wide. Its breath-taking grounds and magical interior make it the perfect location for taking a step back in time. Interestingly, the independent school even served as a place of literary inspiration for the author J.R.R. Tolkien. Stonyhurst Museum is back open! Since reopening after the pandemic, there are new exhibitions featuring religious and historically monumental artefacts, that helped to make the religions what they are today.
Religious relics are not the only items on display either. Tours pass displays of natural history, human history and past pupils making their mark on the world as scientists, archaeologists, civil servants, and many other professions
