Brighton Girls, formerly Brighton and Hove High School, is a private day school for girls aged 4 to 18 in the city of Brighton and Hove, East Sussex, England and is part of the Girls' Day School Trust.
The main part of the school is housed in The Temple, Thomas Read Kemp's former home situated in the heart of Brighton.
Montpelier is an inner suburban area of Brighton, part of the English city and seaside resort of Brighton and Hove. Developed together with the adjacent Clifton Hill area in the mid-19th century, it forms a high-class, architecturally cohesive residential district with "an exceptionally complete character". Stucco-clad terraced housing and villas predominate, but two of the city's most significant Victorian churches and a landmark hospital building are also in the area, which lies immediately northwest of Brighton city centre and spreads as far as the ancient parish boundary with Hove.
Montpelier is characterised by early 19th-century stucco-clad terraced houses and villas, such as 1 and 2 Montpelier Villas.
Many of the north–south streets offer long views. From the top of Victoria Street, St Mary Magdalen's Church and the English Channel are visible.
Before its development, the present Montpelier area was known as Church Hill in reference to St Nicholas Church.
The Temple was built for Thomas Read Kemp in 1819 just before suburban growth started.
