Our Dining Hall was once the billiards room – that is why it is large and has a decorated ceiling. The lights used to hang above a big billiards table.

In St Mark’s Church there is an organ which was given by Mrs Edith Mitchell in 1932.
The Mitchell family were supporters of St Mark’s Church, Dundela which is on the Holywood Road.

At the back of Marmont was a row of outhouses. Fruit, vegetables and tools were stored here by the gardeners.
The big building had been a barn and was later used as a garage for the Mitchell’s cars.
They owned a big, shiny Rolls Royce car.
