The Old Grammar School house, Northleach

A grammar school was founded close to this site in 1560 under a bequest by the wealthy local landowner Hugh Westwood, although the building seen here dates from more like the 17th Century; it was used as a boarding house and accommodation for the headmaster, but closed in the early 1900s, and is now a private dwelling. It was replaced in the 1920s by a purpose-built grammar school further east in the town, which has also now closed and the pupils transferred to Bourton-on-the-Water.
