Tudor Grange house, a now grade II listed property, was completed in Solihull in 1887 for Alfred Lovekin, a silversmith and Lord of the Manor of Longdon in Solihull, who originally leased the land from the Chattock family of Castle Bromwich.

The land was known as Garret's Green Farm on Whitefields Road, and Mr Lovekin purchased it for the development of a Jacobethan style "Tudor Grange House" and landscaped park.

The Bird family bequeathed the house and estate to the people of Solihull for the construction of 'Tudor Grange' schools around the turn of the century.

The formative school continued with these temporary arrangements until the new boys' school building on Dingle Lane was opened in September 1956, the official ceremony taking place on Tuesday 23 July 1957.

[citation needed] Amongst some of the masters at this time was mathematics teacher Mr Arthur Bowden, who had the enthusiasm to have a small astronomical observatory built in the grounds, although he also declared in 1958 that it was "mathematically impossible for any space-craft to leave the gravitational pull of the earth".

When the schools merged so too did the houses, becoming Beaufort-Mowbray, Lancaster-Newburgh, York-Verney and Howard-Richmond.

[citation needed] Since then a new block dedicated to teaching the International Baccalaureate Diploma has been added together with a new sports hall allowing one of the two old gyms has been turned into a large classroom known as the 'Lead Lesson Suite' used as an exam room and for teaching large groups of pupils.
