The Sir John Nelthorpe School can trace its roots back to 1669. Sir John Nelthorpe, after whom the school is named, was born in Brigg in 1614. A lawyer by profession, he turned soldier during the Civil War. He died, unmarried, in 1669 and decided to leave his mark by founding a school in Brigg. The main building here is the original 17th century school. In 1977 the old Brigg Grammar School joined the Girl's Grammar School to form the Sir John Nelthorpe Comprehensive School. The photographer was a boarder here between 1970 and 1972.
