"The Manor House School" by Angela Brazil is a children's novel written in the early 20th century.

The main characters include Lindsay Hepburn and Cicely Chalmers, who, along with their classmates, become intrigued by the mansion's rich history and the mysterious presence of a new girl, Monica Courtenay. At the start of the novel, the excitement of a new term is palpable as the girls learn they are relocating from their regular school to an enchanting old manor house. Nora Proctor shares thrilling news about their upcoming journey, hinting at the school's relocation due to issues with drainage, which creates a sense of adventure.
