Penbury Lodge By Don & jo jo Brown
Penbury Lodge is situated on the outskirts of the North of England city of Leeds.
It is set in 120 acres of a mixture of wild meadows, various coppices and a large lake from which the main hall frontage looks out onto.
Fenced as to show its boundary’s, not as a prison, and a large white pebbled drive leading from the gatehouse, to the front door.
On approach you would think you were entering a Gentleman’s country mansion as you viewed the immaculate red bricked house.
Penbury Lodge caters for the wants and needs of somewhat distraught high-ranking parents whose daughters are getting somewhat out of control through a range of things, drink, sexual activities or just downright rude.
It also caters as a residential learning centre for young ladies who need that extra piece of education.
Parents induct their charges to the head, Dr. Brown and his dedicated team of both gentlemen and ladies.
The local area magistrate’s court also has the power to detain certain ladies whom are not too sure of their position in life and place them in the care of Dr. Brown from a week to 3 months
All in all Penbury has earnt a reputation of being firm but fair, caring yet instructive and above all it has an impeccable record of never having one girl returned into their keeping.
Induction is the same for either young girls sent by parents or the judiciary.
From home or from the courts the girls are brought by their respective parents or housekeepers, usually the latter.
They register at the gatehouse and go into a room with their guardians where they strip completely and hand over their clothes.
This in itself is a wake up call to cause maximum humiliation.
A young girl, striping in front of her daddy, or even worse, the housekeeper.
Failure to do this in the allotted time is punished by two of the ground staff being summoned, undressing the girl and laying on 20 lashes with their tawses, school issue to all staff members, on the girls naked bottom.
This always got the young ladies full attention; in almost every case it will have been their first taste of discipline even at 16 years old.
Clothes off, housekeeper or parent departed the girl would be given a light grey loose fitting tunic and sandals.
No underwear allowed and the loose tunic was so to allow easy access to the naked body for correction.
The sandals would also have their use as a corrective implement, after the tawse of course, 10 with a leather-soled sandal soon had the girls in forgiveness mode, and turn a pink bottom into a crimson one.
Once covered the girl would be escorted by the senior housemistress, Miss Harrop, to Dr. Browns office.
A quite palatial ex drawing room, still full of its original Victorian character.
Additionally a large oak desk with a green leather inlaid writing block, high winged black leather Chesterfield style chair, a large double fronted dresser, spanking horse, complete with leather ties and various stools and chairs. It was not hard to notice the wear on the Chesterfield arms.
Miss Harrop would leave the girl outside in the corridor as she knocked, and took in the new inmates notes.
The girl would then enter and stand, hands on head, as was to be her pose when in the company of a senior, in front of his desk. The house rules would be read and she would be given a copy, pretty basic really, what to do, and what not to do.
The what not to do capitalized with the punishment for so doing;
All punishments were started with 20 of the tawse, Dr. Brown felt it only civalised to have the girls bottom repaired prior to her correction.
Lateness = 10 strokes of the cane for every minute late.
Rudeness = 20 lashes of the dormitory belt followed by 20 strokes of the senior cane.
Untidiness = 30 lashes of the dormitory belt.
And so the list went on and the bottom item, usually overlooked at a first glance read as follows.
Prior to lights out at 9.30pm all girls will be taken to the toilet, wiped and inspected.
They will then form a queue, naked and hands on head, and taken in turn to lay over the dormitory chest, a large wooden barreled topped box in which correction implements were kept.
The dormitory belt would be removed from behind the door, from its special hook, and the housemistress, Miss Harrop, would administer 10 rapid, hard cutting lashes to each girls upturned bottom.
This would be on top of any bedtime spanking earned that day.
This ensured that every girl would go to bed crying and concentrate all their thoughts and dreams of being a credit to society.
The morning bell at 6.30am would see all girls out of bed, hands on head and await the arrival of the housemaster, George Kent.
The morning would start as the evening finished, toilet, wiped, lined up and belted.
This time George issued the morning wake up belting, if it were possible he was harder, faster and seemed to cover more area than Miss Harrop.
The girls then showered, dressed and started their day at breakfast, and just hoped it would not be their turn on the stage, naked, thrashed and left for all to watch as a warning of what happens to non conformists.
Next post we will follow the happenings to Miss Harrop as she makes an unscheduled slip up, or was it?
