The house was in the ground floor of the Sicker and was in the two 'wards' there - 'converted' of course...
The Prep Block is still being used as a 'decant' block...
I think it may just be known as 'Hert'...

The girls from Hertford house have their laundry marked with the abbreviation 'HERT'. It was perhaps more of a <i>real</i> house than the grecian houses as although it's members ate/marched/did duty/played sport with their respective avenue houses they were issued with a Hertford house number. Although the house is no more, residents from last year are still labeled with their 'HERT' number.
Don't ask why I know so much about it...

In answer to the question on the Hertford houses transferring to Horsham, 4's definitely went to Col B as I remember them - the 1st years from Hertford were Grecians on my squits. Boy were they scary.
And on Old Blues day lots of 4's people visited Col B - I think the old monitors boards are still up in Col B corridor.

Not all 4's went to Col - some went to BaA. They seemed to split each house from Hertford into 2 and put them in 2 different houses at Horsham. I was in 2's and got put into BaB along with 3 others from 2's - the rest of 2's from my year went to Col. The rest of the GE (as we were when we moved) in BaB was made up of 5's. Confused?

Mr Elvin spends an inordinate amount of time performing the task of a middle lady...voluntarily might I add.

Yes, the lovely
ladies, Mr Elvin, who sort, fold and distribute our school uniform, sheets and towels.

Don't you mean matron? And why do they have to be female? I know it's rare but it's not unheard of for a male to fold socks. Your Mr Elvin is, I would suggest, a potential example, although I'd need to see proof of this.
And why middle?

Why 'middle' I know not...And yes Matron does have a hand in things, although generally there is a 'Head' of the middle ladies who knows everything works.
We're not sure about Mr. Elvin in many ways...
