Now a nursery, Greenham House was a boarding school for boys from around 1796 to 1811. The school was run by The Reverend James Bicheno, who was the Baptist Minister for Newbury from 1780 to 1807. He was a pioneering campaigner against the slave trade, promoting petitions to Parliament for the abolition of the slave trade in 1788 and 1792. The latter was signed by 333 people (a lot back then!)
