This imposing building in the middle of Corn Glen village began life as Read's Grammar School, founded in 1669 by a Nottingham merchant for the instruction of local children, but closed in 1909 and has since been restored as the Willoughby Memorial Library and Art Gallery which opened in 1965 in memory of Timothy, Lord Willoughby de Eresby (born 1936), son and heir of the Earl and Countess of Ancaster, of Grimsthorpe Castle, who was lost in a storm while boating in the Mediterranean between Cap Ferrat and Corsica on 20th August 1963.
