More about this scene
Oundle School, now a leading public school, started out as a small 16th century grammar school. Founded (or refounded) by Sir William Laxton in 1556, a prosperous London grocer, it remained modest until the mid 19th century, when it grew rapidly. A large number of its fine stone buildings now dominate the north part of the town. They are mostly Victorian and earlier 20th century, and the majority are in the Jacobean or Gothic style as seen here - the favoured architectural styles of most Victorian public schools.
