Kingweston House is approximately 5 miles from the main school campus.
In 1745, the Kingweston estate was purchased by Caleb Dickenson who transformed the surrounding area, rebuilding the village that had developed in the 8th century around agriculture. In 1780, Kingweston House was built by Caleb's son William. For nearly 200 years Kingweston House was the home of the Squires of Kingweston. During World War II the house was also used to accommodate evacuees.
Kingweston has been a Millfield Boarding house since January 1946. The House and grounds were officially given to the school in 2006 by Mrs Joy Burden, the last descendent of the Dickenson family. It has been refurbished over the last seven years to create more single rooms. The wonderful grounds allow the boys to enjoy the space to play and let off steam. In addition,the School's golf course sits in the same site and there are two tennis courts as well as a swimming pool in the grounds.
Trevor and Michelle Greenhill have been Kingweston's houseparents since 1998. Trevor teaches geography and coaches rugby. He describes Kingweston as "one of the most beautiful places in the world on a summer's day". There is a great family-feel with a relaxed, caring atmosphere. Evening meals are provided in the beautiful dining room for the whole House to enjoy together. It is an outstanding home for the boys to come back to at the end of their day at school and provides a wonderful space to recharge at the weekends.
The Greenhills have three children, (two daughters at Millfield Senior School, and one son at Millfield Prep School) along with two black Labradors. Hobbies are supporting their own children and the boys in the house.
