The New Grammar School, East Retford

London Road
Retford
England

A Grammar School was founded in Retford in 1551 in the reign of King Edward VI (the School is named after him). It moved from its original site next to St Swithun's Church on Chapelgate to a new six-acre site on London Road in the 1850s (Seen here). The present neo-Tudor red-brick building with a central gothic lantern and spire dates from 1855-7 and was designed by Decimus Burton. (the engraving is taken from a great Northern Railway guide)
