Tranby Croft History Tours 2024

Have you been on one of Tranby's fantastic history tours yet?  Well, now is your chance!  

Due to their popularity, our Head of Languages and resident Tranby archivist, Gordon Stephenson, has added 2 more history tours to the 2024 calendar.  

With exclusive access to unseen areas of the school and more information on Tranby Croft than you could shake a pack of playing cards at, the tours include the infamous Baccarat Room, family reception rooms, and the tower.  

There are two types of tours:

• The Wilson Family History Tour - Wednesday 2nd October
• The Hull High School for Girls History Tour - Monday 23rd September

Hull High School for Girls Tour: Go back to your school days and revisit old classrooms, boarding rooms, and other areas of the school that hold a special place in your memory.  Gordon is happy to accommodate your requests, so let him know where you would like to revisit, and this can be incorporated into the tour.  

The Wilson Family History Tour: Discover the rich and fascinating history of the Wilson family. From their relatively humble beginnings to their remarkable social ascent, including the Baccarat Scandal  , the design and build of the stunning Tranby Croft, and the many ways in which they supported the local community and left a legacy for the people of Anlaby and Hull.  

With such a rich heritage and history, tours of Tranby Croft are insightful and entertaining  , plus they are open to all, so please do share with your friends and family.
