Summerfield School (also known as Three Ways School)

Introduction

Summerfield School, Bath is a mid-19th century garden designed by the owner, Jerom Murch, the 'prince of landscape gardeners'. It features rose terraces centred on a fountain, a small arboretum and a small park grazed by Highland cattle. There is some confusion as to the current ownership of the site, as it has been offered for sale by Bath and North East Somerset Council.

Summerfield School closed on 31st August 2005.
