More about this scene

Facing the churchyard on the north side of Church Street is the oldest building in the King's School, built just before 1528 as a chantry school. This range is now the library and was, as a plaque informs us, where Isaac Newton was a pupil in the 1650s. No 1 on the right, a good 18th-century stone front, is now a Centre for Industrial Studies.

My husband and I married in the building on the right of this photograph in February 1988. I seem to recall the the registry office was moving from one building to another at the time and so this gorgeous old building was used as a temporary venue. The room we married in had dark wooden panelling on the walls and was steeped in history. We then nipped across the road for photographs in the doorway of St Wulfrums Church.
