The Old Grammar Schools #249796

Winchester (1393 ad.) is our Oldest Public School of the Mediaeval type. Stratford m School 'refounded' 1553, St Paul's 1509, Grantham Grammar School 'refounded' 1553 are representative old grammar schools and typify the close connexion of these schools with the best national life, as the schools to which William Shakespeare, John Milton, and Sir Isaac Newton went, as school-boys. And, for a due supply of persons qualified to serve God in Church and State, let us implore His especial blessing on all schools and of and useful particularly on.
