There are several other gentleman's seats in the parish. Caldecote Towers (now a ladies' private school) is a large modern mansion in the Italian style, erected about 1870, at a cost of £30,000, and stands on an eminence nearly 500 feet above sea level, commanding fine and extensive views of the river Colne. The grounds are about 60 acres in extent and contains a gymnasium, a studio, cricket field, tennis courts, etc. [Kelly's Directory 1908]

It later became a school as in the 1917 Kelly's Directory  it is described as "Misses Tate & Tanner, girls' school. Caldecote Towers"
