Perceval House

[1][2][3] The school's representative on the inaugural meeting of the Football Association was G.W.

He, along with his colleagues from the other Blackheath-based teams at the meeting, favoured a form of football allowing "hacking" and handling of the ball, similar to rugby; when this was rejected by the majority of the teams as they attempted to formulate one agreed set of rules, no-one from Perceval House was represented at the fifth meeting of the F.A.

The building housed a girls school,[5] run by a Miss Sapienta Stone,[6] from 1835 to 1850, and, at the time of the FA's foundation, housed a military training school (1860–1885) run by William Keizer, captain of Blackheath Golf Club.
