Hart House
Hart House was the third of the specially planned and purpose-built boarding houses and it was completed in 1890. Hart is named after Henry George Hart, the Headmaster of Sedbergh between 1880 and 1900. The first Housemaster was Bernard Tower who moved into Hart during the summer of 1890 bringing with him 30 boys from what is now Lupton where he had been Housemaster. One of the other former Housemasters was A.J. Fowler, brother of the famous Henry Watson Fowler (also a member of School staff at one time), who helped the latter with his compilation of the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary. The House magazine and Emblem, The Jay, gets its name from A.J. Fowler. The house colour is green.
