A little bit about Kipling Court

Kipling Court has a rich and vibrant history and is the only Grade II listed building in Westward Ho! It was originally built in 1869 and was designed by the architect Edward Willmott. It was originally called Kingsley Terrace and consisted of 12 houses in pairs on 5 levels. In 1874 it became the United Services College and was created to provide the sons of officers with a less expensive education than some of the other public schools provided. In 1878 a small stocky bespectacled boy arrived from Lahore India named Rudyard Kipling who lived between 1856 and 1936. Rudyard Kipling, of course, went on to become a famous English journalist and novelist and the building took its current name from him. It has now been turned into apartments.
