The Royal Soldiers' Daughters' Home, no. 65 Rosslyn Hill, was founded at 
Rosslyn House in 1855 to relieve the families of soldiers in the Crimea. 

Originally intended for destitute war orphans, it later took the daughters 
of serving or retired soldiers; they were admitted from infancy to 13 and 
left at 16, able ones being trained to become teachers. From 1924 the 
school was maintained by the L.C.C., with a roll of c. 110 until the 
Second World War.
