Queen Mary's School aka Baldersby Park, was originally built in the Palladian style in 1721 by a young Scottish architect, Colen Campbell. Amongst its previous owners was George Hudson, the 'Railway King' and one time Lord Mayor of York. The building became a convalescent home for injured soldiers in WW1, was used again by the military in WW2 and became Queen Mary's School for girls in 1985.
