Nice shots, I love that old architecture. Back in the day it seems they spent the money on education.   ;)

Sorry Doug....:P

Bristol Grammar School. Founded in 1532 but the great hall in these photos was built in 1879. Been a big part of my life for the last 7 years :D.....

Thanks Mic. I didn't know if you'd moved on. :P

I went to Steyning Grammar School which was founded in 1614 although there was a school on the site long before that. The great hall is still in use today but not as impressive as yours. http://www.steyningmuseum.org.uk/brotherhood.htm

Sounds like an interesting building...I love the 1867 report - 
"A crazy wooden building which has been kept from falling down by well-timed repairs. No amount of money, however, spent on near-repairs would make it fit for its purpose."

Wonderful. I attend a 'run-of-the-mill' Grammar in Lincolnshire. I believe it was founded in 1167 although the current site has been in use since 1554.
