Former School Hall at King Charles I Grammar School, Kidderminster

This impressive building was formerly part of King Charles I Grammar School and has a beamed and vaulted oak ceiling, oak panelled walls and stone-mullioned high arch windows. It was used for a while as a Registry Office but is now empty. The school was originally founded around 1566 by Thomas Blount, Esq., Lord of the Manor of Kidderminster. It was in the chantry of the Parish Church of St. Mary and All Saints from 1566 until 1848, when it moved to the site known as Woodfield, on the Bewdley Road. It was granted its royal charter in 1636 by King Charles I and was the only school in England to bear his name. The Hall built about 1848 is a listed building.
