Farnham Grammar School

The grammar school was created at some time before 1585 (the date of a donation being made by a Richard Searle "to the maintenance of the school in Farnham").

[2] It is, though, possible that this ancient school dated back as far as 1351 when a chantry was created at Farnham Castle, but there is no documentary evidence of this.

[1] The school benefited over the years from bequests by different people as well as the generosity of Bishops of Winchester who occupied Farnham Castle over the centuries.

[1] The school was housed in West Street, Farnham until 1906.

It moved then because in the previous year, the town centre assets were sold in order to purchase and build a new school in fields to the south of the town.
