The original school was located by the side of what is now the road from Merstow Green to the High Street in Evesham.

[3] When students join the school, they become a member of one of the five houses (Burlingham, Deacle, Holland, Lichfield and Workman).

[5] Richard Burlingham was educated at Prince Henry's Grammar School and started his career as a soldier, becoming an officer in the Worcestershire Regiment as a young man in the 1930s.

Lieutenant Colonel Burlingham was a governor of Prince Henry's High School for almost 50 years from 1949 until the late 1990s.

The old school building still stands, and although it now has shop fronts obstructing the view, it can be found on the right-hand side as you head up Port Street from the Workman Bridge.

Revd Holland was a key figure in saving the school by working hard to raise funds as well as using his own money.

In 1879 Prince Henry's Grammar School was moved from Merstow Green to Lanesfield on Greenhill.

He was responsible for the final building works undertaken on the Abbey complex prior to its dissolution by Henry VIII, including the St Clements Chantry, off All Saints church.

He financially contributed to the school move from Merstow Green to its new site on Greenhill, which took place in 1879.
