Old Building of the Royal Grammar School

Old Guildfordians are former pupils of the Royal Grammar School, a selective
English independent day school for boys in Guildford, Surrey. Its foundation dates to the
death in 1509 of Robert Beckingham, who left a provision in his will to "make a free scole at
the Towne of Guldford"; in 1512 a governing body was set up to form the school. The
school moved to the present site (pictured) in the upper High Street after the granting of
a royal charter from King Edward VI on 27 January 1553. Since the school's founding,
notable alumni have included the 75th archbishop of Canterbury, Olympic athletes, the
longest-serving speaker of the House of Commons of the United Kingdom, several
other members of Parliament of the United Kingdom, a founding member of the East India
Company, and the 11th premier of New Zealand. (Full list...)
