A posh name for an opticians, well, it is Skipton after all! This grade II listed building is dated late C18. LBS NO : 323489

This building, in Newmarket Road, is one of three buildings with an interwoven history. Ermysted's Grammar School was founded in 1492 and in 1548 took over the former chapel of the Knights Hospitallers as a schoolroom. The school was expanded in the late 17th or early 18th century with an adjoining addition. Circa 1775 the then headmaster built himself a fine new house. The grammar school moved to new premises in Gargrave Road in 1876. The chapel (seen here) is now an electricity sub-station. The addition Image is now a private house. The headmaster's house Image is now the Cross Keys public house. The former chapel is constructed of rubble stone under a stone flag roof.
