Description: | The Royal Grammar School in Newcastle was founded in the 16th century. This print, by Thomas Miles Richardson, shows the entrance to the school when it was part of the Hospital of St Mary the Virgin, on Westgate Road. In 1844 this building was demolished to make way for Central Station. The boys who attended the Royal Grammar School came from middle-class families who could not afford to send their children to expensive private academies. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | religion artists living in the North East buildings and views art North East artists children Newcastle education health | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
