History

Cottesmore was founded by Geoffrey Davison Brown in 1894 in Hove, East Sussex. He named the school after Cottesmore, Rutland, where he was born. The new buildings for the preparatory school were officially opened on 19 June 1897.[2]

The school moved to its present site at Pease Pottage after World War II in 1946. The school is housed in a fine, Grade II-listed[3] Victorian mansion known as Buchan Hill that was built in 1882-3 by Philip Felix Renaud Saillard who had made his money from ostrich feathers.[4][5] The building is a large Elizabethan-style house, designed by the architects Ernest George and Harold Peto.[6] Buchan Hill had been purchased in the early 19th century by Hon. Thomas Erskine (Lord Chancellor 1806-1807), son of the Earl of Buchan.
