Directions to Stonyhurst

                               Stonyhurst College and St Peter's Church  c.1905


Please click here for a weblink to the Stonyhurst website for travel directions.

For Satnav users, the postcode is BB7 9PZ.

The nearest town to Stonyhurst is WHALLEY

On a map, the nearest village is HURST GREEN (top left)


There are cheeky little signs on some smaller roads pointing to Stonyhurst via small country roads. Ignore them as they will lead to madness (and the back entrances to College are currently closed).

It is best to drive through HURST GREEN village.
You will know you are going in the right direction when you see the War Memorial off the main road in between the Shireburn Arms and Eagle and Child pub.

Drive down the road to Stonyhurst (keeping the Bailey Arms and Village Hall on your right hand side).
At the end of the village, you will see the entrance to College grounds (and ironically, road signs allowing you to go at the full national speed limit!).

After about 200 yards the road bends to the right and you will see the College in the distance.
If you have not been on this road before, you may experience a "Brideshead Revisited" moment.    

Here is a weblink to a Googlemap 

After driving down the main avenue, and through the main gates, there is ample parking at the college and close to St Peter's Church (see next blog entry "directions and parking within Stonyhurst").


Any questions, please email us.

Wedding list...?









Put simply, we don't have a wedding list.

On our special day, we look forward to your presence rather than presents.


(For those who know Jason will understand our need to de-clutter before we begin married life!)

However, we aim to renovate/build a home... so if you would like to sponsor a door, some tiles, bricks, nails, paint or timber etc, we would be very grateful (in the weeks to come, when we find the items we need, your names will be written on our handywork for posterity!)

Many thanks and love
Helen and Jason



To illustrate the idea, here are the sorts of things we will be using in the months to come...we don't know precisely what we need yet, so any Bank of England vouchers would be gratefully received...
