The below description of Highbury House School from
"Historical Hastings""
" Highbury House School, Church Road, St Leonards, was a boarding and day school for boys, which was established in the 1860s by the Rev Charles Duff, an independent minister, who had been born in Scotland in about 1822. He was living in Stebbing, Essex, at the 1861 census, and was married to Fanny Elliott (aged 25; born in Portsmouth, Hampshire). The family probably moved to St Leonards between 1864 and 1865. Charles Duff appears in the 1867 Kelly's directory as the proprietor of Highbury House School, Edward Road, Church Road, St Leonards. He died soon afterwards, because Fanny is described as a widow (aged 33) and the school proprietor in the 1871 census. Her daughter Sibella (aged 17 and born in Stebbing) was living at the school in 1881; Fanny is the principal, and Robert Johnstone (aged 47) is the Headmaster. Fanny died at Highbury House on 28 October 1892 in her 57th year. The school was then run by Fanny's son, John Charles Archibald Duff (born 20 August 1865 at St Leonards). "
