The library stands behind the clock tower which was erected by Tom Pedlingham in memory of his wife Alice. Humphry Walwyn, benefactor to Colwall, was a member of the Worshipful Company of Grocers in London. In 1614 he left a legacy to fund a free grammar school in the village. The school has survived though it is now known as the Elms School, an independent prep school.
