BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Christ’s Hospital was established as a school in November 1552 at the instigation of King Edward VI. The king’s patronage of the school was confirmed by a Royal Charter granted on 26 June 1553, eleven days before his death. The school was founded at Newgate Street, London, on the site of a Grey Friars (Franciscan) friary, with a preparatory school in Hertford, Hertfordshire which had supplementary schools at Ware and Broxbourne. A second major rebuilding took place from 1793 to 1836, including a Grammar School completed in 1793, a new Great Hall in 1829, Grammar and Mathematical Schools in 1834 and the cloisters known as the Grecians Cloister in 1836. In 1902 the Newgate Street and Hertford schools relocated to the present location south of Horsham in West Sussex and the General Post Office was built over most of the site.
