A short film showing the magnificent Formarke Hall Repton Preparatory School, housed in Foremarke Hall and its grounds. "The army moved out of Foremarke Hall in 1946 and Repton school moved in 1947, renting the building from the Church Commissioners. The school was able to purchase the freehold of the current campus in 1967 with 40 acres (160,000 m2) of land and three cottages of the Hamlet." P. Brewster, 2002[3] Foremarke Hall was commissioned to be built as a stately home in 1760 by Sir Robert Burdett for his son Francis Burdett. The present building was built in 1759 to 1761;[4] and is of Georgian and Palladian architectural style with an imposing portico, cursive and round domes, chamber, pillars and a magnificent south front. A double spiral staircase leads up to the 1st floor – to the rectangular balcony and pillared front entrance of the Hall and into the approximately 1,000 square feet (93 m2) main hall/living area of the building which consists of two large imposing fireplaces and a glass chandelier.
