Our Lady of the Avenue depicts Mary, as defined in the Book of Revelation, \"And a great sign appeared in heaven: A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.\"

As a school it dates back to 1593 when it was founded by Father Robert Persons SJ, however the building itself dates as far back as 1200 AD.

The school's striking campus is said to have a classic \"Harry Potter\" look and was a source of inspiration for J.K. Rowling when writing the Harry Potter books. Stonyhurst College has also been featured in films including \"Three Men and a Little Lady\" and \"Tractate Middoth\".

Richard Shireburn inherited the estate at Stonyhurst in 1537. He decided to do away with most of the medieval buildings to construct a bigger, grander hall and the buildings you see today.
