Old Grammar School, Church Lane, Ledbury, Herefordshire

This timber framed building dates back to the late 15th century. It was originally a schoolroom and master's house. It was endowed in part from the Holy Trinity Chantry. The Chantry and school were closed as part of the Dissolution in 1547. It was then re-endowed and renamed the King Edward VI Grammar School during his reign (1547-1553). The school finally closed around 1860.
