Description
The Old Grammar School is a late 15th-century building that originally served as a schoolroom and master's house, and is now divided into three tenements. It features a timber-framed structure with plastered panels. The south front has a prominent overhang on the first floor, supported by an original moulded bressumer and carved brackets that spring from octagonal shafts with moulded capitals. The building has two storeys and five windows, including an old canted bay window on the left side of the ground floor and old casements with leaded panes, one of which has four lights in the gable of the east end. Timber framing is also visible at the rear and east end of the building. The roof is tiled with gable ends. The Old Grammar School was once a schoolroom and master's house endowed by the Holy Trinity Chantry, which was dissolved in 1547. It is said that the poet Reverend Thomas Traherne, who lived from 1637 to 1674, was educated here. The building is part of a group that includes the Town Council Offices, No 3, Public Lavatories, Hawkes and Terry, and the Prince of Wales Inn.
