It is thought that the origins of a Grammar School in Leeds could date back as early as 1341.
By 1552 it did become established.
The building in this view was the work of John Harrison, Leeds benefactor, who provided the funds for building and the site on his own land, between Vicar Lane and New Briggate. This was in 1624.In 1691 Leeds Mayor, Godfrey Lawson gifted a library, to be the first school library in Leeds. By the 1850s, a new building was proposed and in 1859 the school relocated to Woodhouse Moor. This building was sold, to be used as a foundry. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Old Grammar School | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
