the john warner school
Hoddesdon
The present school site dates from 1953 and adopted the name The John Warner
School in January 1968 in recognition of the major contribution made by him to
the development of education in Hoddesdon in the nineteenth century. John
Warner, a Quaker, born in 1776 in the City of London, acquired Rawdon House and
grounds in 1841 and built the first school for boys of all classes and any
religious beliefs.
