DenfordPark, Kintburv, Berkshire Sir Thomas Hughes moved to Eddington House, a mile or so the north east of Denford Park, and also had a town house at 12 Hyde Park Gardens in London; he remarried in 1952 and died six years later. 48 S _ 9 By the end of the 1940's Denford Park had been sold to the Convent of the Holy Sepulchre in Chelmsford; initially converted into a convent, by November 1949 the organisation were planning to convert it into a boarding school - though the plans were not passed by the local authority until 1952. The architects used for the conversion, alterations and extension additions required were a local practise in Hungerford, Sutton, Griffin & Sweetnam. The new school was also relatively short-lived for in 1967 the site was bought by the Norland College, a residential establishment for the training of 'nannies'; in the next 35 years the college also made further alterations and extensive additions to the site before changing needs led to its removal to Bath at the start of the 21 st century and the sale of Denford Park in 2002.
