Main Building This is the oldest part of the castle. When you first enter the castle, you come in through giant twin oak doors into an atrium area that extends all the way to the ceiling and boasts large windows that bathe the room in light. Amongst the old flagstone floor, there is a tile mosaic featuring the Cresswell family crest.
Among the four stories, in the main building you will find the dining hall, kitchens, most of the classrooms and staff offices, as well as several other rooms that serve to enrich student life while attending the University.
James Dyball Tower The tower was added on to the main building in the 15th century, later refurbished into extra classrooms and male dorms in the early 20th century. Today, there are still classrooms and male dormitories, as well as the more modern addition and refurbished Michelle Upton.
Selina Longley Tower Added as a part of the school in the late 19th century, the tower was named for Selina Longley, the wife of a professor. She fought for women’s education and the tower became activity for all female education until the sexes were integrated. There are still classrooms on the lower levels and the girls dorms are still housed here as well.
The Stables Rich kids and horses. There is something about the two always being together and Nuages du Monde caters for this fact. The school itself owns several prize horses that it uses for equestrian lessons but students can also find a home for their own steeds here with prior permission from the school.
Students from St. Benedicts share the stables and trails with the University students.
The Playing Field The playing fields take up most of the school's land at the rear of the property and allows for many kinds of sport including football, hockey, rugby and more.

The Male Societies The members of each of these societies freely associate with one another as equals for a mutually beneficial purpose, rather than because of a religious, governmental, commercial, or familial bond. These Societies are organized for many purposes, including university education, work skills, ethics, politics, charity, etc.
But remember that there are many attributes that these societies may or may not have, depending on their structure and purpose. Some can even have differing degrees of secrecy, some form of initiation or ceremony marking admission, formal codes of behavior, disciplinary procedures, very differing amounts of real property and assets.

These Societies are organized for many purposes, including university education, work skills, ethics, politics, charity, etc.

Front Grounds Sprawling lawns and gardens are the first thing anyone sees upon coming up the long lane to St. Benedict's. The stone lane itself is bordered by ancient towering trees, breaking out into an open area with immaculately kept, lush lawns, patterned with grand gardens of various kinds of roses and annuals that make the grounds come alive in the spring time.

Main Building The Main Building, also known as the Memorial Hall, was built to honor the 62 former students of the academy who served in the First World War. To their memory Dean Young instigated the building of the Memorial Hall in 1921/22, designed in a ‘Colonial’ Georgian style by architect, Clough Williams Ellis. In 1949, the building was inscribed with the names of a further 154 former students who lost their lives in World War II. The interior of the Memorial Hall was later remodeled but still combined a chapel, concert hall and theatre, fulfilling the role it was originally designed for.

West Side Building In 1926 the St. Benedict’s Academy purchased West Side Building for use as a sanatorium. Situated between Maze Green Road and Hadham Road, and once owned by Charles Gold junior, it fulfilled the role it was bought for until 1968 when a new sanitorium was built nearby. Reorganization of the Academy then led to West Side Building being renamed Sutton Building in memory of a former long-serving mathematics master. The building is currently shared with the East Side Building, also known as Benson Building, but its appearance has since been marred by modern additions to the structure.

East Side Building St. Benedict’s was always a Boys school, but in 1978 the first girls were admitted and its transition to full co-education began. In 1980 the school had in excess of 900 pupils, almost 400 of which were girls, making the purchase of the East Side Building, also known as Benson Building in October 1980 and finishing the construction by June1981. In order to keep the original building design intact, Benson Building has a mock-Tudor Style, overlooking the large and impressive back of the Academy’s lake.

Belladonna Although this place is located in a beautiful stone building near the edge of the downtown district it's certainly not you're average club. Built on several levels this club holds a dance floor, several bars, as well as a lower level that resembles the host and hostess clubs of Japan. Come in and enjoy there is something for everyone... We promise.

Victrola Come night time, this place is one of those things people come to see, just because. Most will not even enter the doors but those who do are in for the time of their life.
The scaled down version of Castle Eden is the home of the lavish Victrola, Exeter's one and only strip club... but let's face it, being located in a castle, could any other place compete?

City Outskirts Also described as the central business district of Exeter, it is the place that interfaces between town and country, where urban and rural uses mix and clash. Filled with roads that take you to different facilities and buildings, many blue collar people direct themselves to their place of labor. Others decided to live surrounded by the hectic beat of the city.
Whatever it is you wish to find in this spot, it won’t be a tedious experience.

London The UK is a very funny place. London is a busy metropolis extending for miles and miles and miles, heaving with millions of people. By contrast the Welsh countryside is an abandoned place with farmland extending many times over the horizon and last but not least the magical island of Ireland, just a short jaunt over the channel.

Club Promise In the heart of London, off a side street one will find a lineup waiting to be let into London's newest addition to the party scene. The brick building looks rather bland from the outside, with a simple lit up sign on the front, handwritten "Promise" back-lit with a light purple color that makes it appear more like a restaurant than a club.
There are two levels to explore inside, drink specials and live music once a week.

The palace, which rests on the highest peak and dominates the surrounding landscape, is like a fairy-tale castle- a confection of pointed turrets, golden domes and crenelated walls, in the most eye opening colors. It is whimsical and just down right odd in a beautiful way. Surrounded by 400 hectares of park and wilderness it is an oasis to the Lycans who live there. Forum Led by: Nazarus Lascaris
Parc Naziunal Svizzer There is one road that connects the Lycan Castle with the Vampire Castle, a remote valley close to the Italian border and it is disguised as a national park. This park is located in the very east of Switzerland in the Canton Graubünden in an area where the local language is Romansh, therefore its official name is "Parc Naziunal Svizzer".
