1. A large building with 2 main parts set on a terrace above the road. The east end was a Grammar School built about 1480, probably refounded by Bishop Fox of Winchester 1522, and improved by Roger Hill, a merchant of Taunton who died in 1544. This part has rubble walls with ashlar dressings. 5-light mullioned and transomed windows without dripmoulds are divided by buttresses. Decayed heraldic device in east wall. Inside is a hall of 4 bays, much restored, but retaining its open timber roof. The Old Grammar School is a scheduled AM. 2 storey western extensions were carried out in 1902, the whole building having a continuous slate roof. Similar Tudor style with plain mullioned windows, but with gablets rising into roof. Picturesque square wooden bellcote. Leaded lights to windows. 3 storey battlemented tower comes forward at west end,

All the listed buildings (except No 34 and the Dragon Book Shop and Wall) in Bath Place and Corporation Street form a group.
