Preserving Our Rich History For Future Generations

The Princethorpe Foundation Archive holds records relating to the history of Princethorpe College, Crackley Hall School and Crescent School, as well as the legacy schools of St Mary’s Priory, St Bede’s College, St Joseph’s Convent School and Abbotsford School.

For an overview of the history of the schools within the Foundation, please visit our Old Princethorpians page on the Princethorpe College website by clicking on the 'View Our Timeline' button below, where you will find our timeline towards the bottom of the page. Our collections include a variety of material including paper-based records, audiovisual materials, books, artwork and artefacts. Please click on the 'Archive Catalogue' button below to browse the collections and view some of our digitised materials, which include school magazines and drama programmes. We are always delighted to receive new donations to the Archive. If you have any material from your schooldays which you would like to deposit with us, or if you would simply like to share your memories of your time at school, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our Foundation Archivist, Jo Wong, at archives@princethorpe.co.uk. She would also be happy to answer any questions you may have about our collections.
