Bramston House is a Queen Anne Town House built by Stephen Bramston, a prominent lawyer, in 1701. It was purchased by the School in 1916 and later extended by the purchase of Pettit's and Moore's shops. It is situated in the centre of Oundle with boys coming in and out of the market place itself. A feature of the House is the fine garden area which includes a tennis court and cricket net, as well as a substantial 'paddock' with rugby posts. The boys still play the 'Bramston paddock game' and 'Bramston House cricket', which are unique to the House. The accommodation houses 60 boys, and was completely refurbished in 2002.
Mr Sherwin is married with two young boys. He has taught English at Oundle since 2003, having previously worked as a lawyer in the City. He coaches rugby and golf. His interests include tennis, walking and the theatre.
In addition to the Housemaster the House has a team of seven tutors: Mr Bolger (Modern Languages); Mr Boag (Director of the Stahl); Mr Gillings (Politics); Mr Page (Undermaster, Art); Alexander Priest (PE Department); Mr Taylor (Geography); Mr Vincent (Design Technology); and Mrs Mola (Head of Spanish), who is the Deputy Hsm.
