Kingsbridge Grammar School was founded in 1670 and the 2-storey building was constructed in local stone under a slate roof. The 4-storey annexe, gable end to the street in Tudor style, was probably added in the early 19th century. The building is now home to the Kingsbridge Cookworthy Museum. Listed, grade II*, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1325371 Kingsbridge is a market town in the South Hams district of Devon. It is located at the head of an estuary some 17 miles southwest of Torquay and about 17 miles southeast of Plymouth. The town formed around a bridge built in or before the 10th century between two royal estates, giving it the name of Kyngysbrygge ("King's bridge"). Situated in the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the South Devon coast, the town is a popular tourist destination.
