The inventive Headmaster of Bruce Castle School Rowland Hill was probably best known for his Penny Post. But postal reform was far from his only interest ...

During his time at Bruce Castle, Rowland Hill was an avid experimenter, especially interested in the circulation of clean air around the building. Some of the physical changes he made to the building are still visible today, though often hidden in surprising places! Join us for an exploration of Bruce Castle, through the eyes of one of its most famous residents.
