My three summers at Wroxton from 1976-78 in the Master’s program in English Literature was so life-changing that it is difficult to describe fully.  My journey there was my first overseas trip without parents.  I had to fly to Paris, switch airports to fly into Heathrow, get myself to Reading—where I spent the night at a hotel—then catch a train to Banbury, where I was blessedly picked up by a Wroxton staffer.  That was a learning experience in itself, and I had been recovering from very serious brain surgery in 1972.  I had just begun teaching high school English and had 5 different preps—that’s how it was in those days—new teachers were assigned what was left over after senior teachers made their options.  I loved the lecture-seminal-tutorial system of the program, as well as the weekend travel opportunities—if the mini bus was going somewhere, I was on it!  Another highlight of the program was the Globe Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon.  I don’t know how many plays we saw, but we saw many.  One that I will never forget was MACBETH with Ian McKellen and Judi Dench at The Other Place, the experimental theatre of the Globe.  And not to be forgotten is Wroxton itself— the Abbey, the grounds, and the village.  All are  gobsmackingly beautiful!   And guess what—after the third year and attaining my masters, I may have been the youngest member of our Hugh school’s English Department, but because of the Masters degree from an English college, I became the one chosen to teach English Literature to Seniors—considered the plum assignment.  I did so for 33 years and also initiated the AP course in English Literature and Composition.  I and a colleague also directed student trips to London, Oxford, Stratford, Bath, Stonehenge, and Windsor for over 20 years—all because of my experience at Wroxton.  My advice—don’t hesitate to enroll in a Wroxton program of study—it will be the best investment in your future you will ever make.

this is another continuing stepstone in enhancing the special relationship between both the US/UK and the North American North Family with our ancestral home at Wroxton Abbey

Because Wroxton was my home away from home and I love it dearly. 

I had such a magical and special trip to Wroxton with a wonderful group of folks. There was such so much laughter, fun, energy, and vibes. I am so grateful. I fully support Wroxton and everything it has to offer
