The most prominent former member of staff was James Murray, third editor of a new English Dictionary, that was to become the Oxford English Dictionary.
In preparation for the work ahead Murray built a corrugated-iron shed in the grounds of Mill Hill School, called the Scriptorium.
A building called the Murray Scriptorium still stands on the school grounds, however this is not the same building as the original.
One of the school's houses, Murray, is named after him.
