Cobham Hall is an independent day and boarding school for girls in Cobham, Kent. The school is housed in a Tudor era manor, which is now Grade I listed. It is a Round Square school and a member of the Girls' Schools Association. School was previewed in the movie , Wild Child, when it was called Abbey Mount
There has been a manor house on the site since the 12th century. The current building consists of a pair of Tudor wings built for The 10th Baron Cobham in the 16th century and a later classical central block, the 'Cross Wing', remodeled in 1661-63 by Peter Mills of London for The 3rd Duke of Richmond. The attic storey was extended and other alterations made for The 3rd Earl of Darnley by Sir William Chambers, ca 1767-70 A kitchen court was added to the rear in 1771-73. The most notable feature of the interior is the two-storey Gilt Hall, designed and installed by George Shakespear, master carpenter and architect, of London, who made extensive interior alterations, 1770-81. The organ was built by John Snetzler in 1778-9.
