Presteigne buildings [14]
Founded in 1565 by John Beddoes, a wealthy woollen manufacturer, the school is the second oldest grammar School in Wales. The school moved to its current site on Broadaxe Lane in 1907. It merged with Knighton Secondary Modern School in 1970 to form a comprehensive school. In 2014, the school closed, to reopen as the John Beddoes Campus of Newtown High School. The buildings are mostly constructed of coursed rubble stone with ashlar dressings under slate roofs.
Presteigne is a market town, set on the south bank of the River Lugg, some 19 miles northwest of Hereford and 16 miles east of Llandrindod Wells. The Welsh/English border wraps around three sides of the town, which probably began as a small settlement around a Minster church. Formerly the county town of the historic county of Radnorshire, it remains quiet, picturesque and unspoilt.
