More about this scene
Opened in 1847, this was Rochdale Grammar School`s second building. Dr Matthew Parker, Archbishop of Canterbury, founded the school in 1565. He was a meticulous man who never missed anything and the nickname `nosey parker` is derived from him. The local historian Dr Henry Brierley described the school as having one fire, a leaking roof and appalling sanitation, although it was a fine-looking building when new.
