The Grammar School Tamworth

The present Grammar School in Tamworth was built in 1867, however there was a Grammar school long before this date. It is recorded as far back as 1384. Queen Elizabeth I refounded the school in the second charter that she granted to the town in 1588, the school was to be known as the Free Grammar School of Elizabeth Queen of England in Tamworth. The illustrations here from the 1911 sports day are more recent by comparison.
