Heritage Open Days Ivor Gurney Hall

Tours last 20 mins on the hour and half-hour

The Ivor Gurney Hall is the King’s School’s 19th century schoolroom in Pitt Street.

It was extensively restored in 2015 to bring out the glory of its arch-braced roof in a striking multi-coloured style associated with the Gothic Revival movement.

Tours will look at the building and will include details of school life in the 19th century, with a special focus on the life of Ivor Gurney, after whom the building is now named.

Access is via the old playground at the rear of the Cathedral, accessed off Pitt Street.
