London Road
Retford
England

A Grammar School was founded in Retford in 1551. 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.
