I am researching the school building that is home to ST Marys in Horam, Heathfield, East sussex. The building was formally STILLYANS. In the 1911 census Major Francis Henry Young J.P was here. He was about 45ish then. Who was he?, what did he do before or during the war?. I am stuck as to where to look for this information many thanks for reading esther
