Background
History
The school was founded in 1710 with an endowment from Lady Eleanor Holles, the daughter of John Holles, 2nd Earl of Clare. The original site is commemorated by a plaque on one of the Barbican walkways. In 1878, the middle school moved to a new building at 182 Mare Street in East Hackney, which was later owned by the Cordwainers Company and now forms part of the London College of Fashion. In 1937 the school moved to its permanent site in Hampton. The first buildings in Hampton were designed by Colonel F. S. Hammond, whose father had designed the Hackney school and were opened by Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester.
