Berkhamsted: The former Bourne School
A school was founded on this site in 1737 through an endowment of £8,000 made by Thomas Bourne, a rich London merchant. The Bourne School was to cater for twenty boys and ten girls. The present building was erected in 1854, largely at the expense of General John Finch of Berkhamsted Place, another local benefactor. The three coats of arms over the front door are those of Berkhamsted Town, Thomas Bourne and John Finch. In 1888 the Bourne School became the first home of Berkhamsted School for Girls. Today, as the sign suggests, the building is used by the Britannia Building Society.
