A little History
Building on its agricultural heritage, Weston was chosen in 1856 as the site for the Warwickshire Reformatory School for boys – the history of which was recounted in 1964 by a one time resident of the village, Derek Smith (now deceased). He wrote in his degree dissertation of the actions of Lord Leigh, and notably Lord Palmerston, in Parliament in the 1850’s to bring about changes in the treatment of young offenders. Their ‘Young Offenders Act’ of 1854 aimed to replace deterrence and retribution (largely through prison sentences) with reformation and restoration to a useful place in society.
