Tranby Croft History Tours

Sunday November 15, 2026

Former Head of Languages and resident Tranby archivist, Gordon Stephenson, is once again offering history tours of the stunning Tranby Croft.  
With exclusive access to unseen areas of the school and more information on Tranby Croft than you could shake a pack of playing cards at, the tours include family reception rooms, and the tower. The infamous Baccarat Room is currently undergoing restoration works. We expect it to be open at the time of this tour, but if it is not, you will be able to view it from the entry door.

The Wilsons and Tranby Croft A truly wonderful tour for history lovers, you'll find out why Winston Churchill visited Tranby on several occasions, discover the extraordinary life of William Gordon-Cumming — landowner, decorated soldier, socialite and scandal-figure — and learn why Tranby Croft was at the centre of a notorious cheating scandal in 1890. You’ll also explore the legends surrounding the mysterious Grey Lady, Tranby Croft’s role during the Second World War, and learn about some of the princes, politicians, writers and explorers who passed through its doors. The story also brings to life Mary Wilson, known as Hull’s ‘Fairy Godmother’, and what became of the house after it left the Wilson family.

Alongside the history, you’ll have the chance to admire the house itself — from its beautiful painted ceilings and carved dragons and gargoyles, to a rare opportunity to climb the tower (weather permitting). 
Sunday 15 November 10:00 - 12:30

With such a rich heritage and history, tours of Tranby Croft are insightful and entertaining, plus they are open to all, so please do share with your friends and family. 
Tickets are £10 and must be purchased in advance. Click below to book your slot.
