Hitchcock went to a christian school in south London where he was educated .There have been many people who believe that the way his parents behaved greatly influenced his work. They were a very authoritarian couple who believed in very harsh punishments , The control his mother had over him can be seen in his work for example in his most famous film Psycho the disturbed main character Norman bates is so fearfull of his mother that he obeys her every command and continues to obey her after her death maintaing the relationship with his mothers corpse.
