Fearon'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. It is a purpose built boarding house completed in 1868, known initially as Culver House, on the corner of St Cross Road and St Michael's Road.
Founded by The Revd W.A. Fearon, the first Housemaster (1868-1882), it is formally known as Fearon's but informally as Kenny's, after the second Housemaster Thomas Kensington (1882-1904). It accommodates 60 boys and offers a gym, music room, library, TV room, games room and Sixth Book Common Room.
The Housemaster of Kenny's is presently Matthew Winter. From 2005 -2010 he was Head of Theology and Philosophy at Winchester. He is married to Anna and they have three young children.
