Morshead's is one of the four boarding houses in the Commoner Block of 6.5 acres purchased in the 1860s by Headmaster Ridding (1867-1884), known as the School's Second Founder. A purpose built boarding house completed in 1868 known initially as Southgate Corner, it sits on the corner of St Cross Road and Romans Road.
Founded by Frederick Morshead, the first Housemaster (1868-1905), it is formally known as Morshead's but informally as Freddie's. It accommodates 60 boys in a house that includes a snooker room, gym area and grass tennis court.
Jamie McManus took up the housemastership of Freddie's in January 2010. He was previously Under Master, in charge of academic administration. He teaches Chemistry. He is married to Mallory, a Harvard economist.
