More about this scene
St Mary's Church, which rises behind the Dolphin Hotel, is renowned for its lavishly-decorated tower and impressive tie beam roof, both of which date from its rebuilding in the 15th century. Sir William Wadham, whose family also founded the town's grammar school and Wadham College at Oxford in 1612, financed much of the work.

Sparked a Memory for you?

I started at the school in 1961 as a day boy. The school also had boarders who lived at what had been the original school building off Court Barton which was also the girls school in my day. Looking at the photographs in this collection, the school was very much the same when I was there. Now it is a first school called Greenfylde. the school was founded in 1549 so it was a very old institution indeed. When I look back I am glad I was able to go to the school.
