Geocache Description:

Black nano container, containing just a log. Please bring your own writing implement.


Here we find the old grammar school, it was founded by Thomas Cave who named it "The Grammar School of Prince Henry." It is built in the Elizabethan style and was also used as a court-house. Its successor is Prince Henry's Grammar School on Farnley Lane. Over the buildings life it has been many things including a china shop a solicitors business and is now an art gallery.

Also on the site is a statue depicting Thomas Chippendale (1718-1779), an English cabinetmaker, was one of the most distinguished of all furniture designers. His "Director" was the first comprehensive design book for furniture ever to appear, and it remains probably the most important. The son of a joiner and the grandson of a carpenter, Thomas Chippendale was born in Otley, Yorkshire, on June 5, 1718. There is a tradition that as a young apprentice he made the dollhouse at Nostell Priory, Yorkshire, and also worked at Farnley Hall near Otley. He moved to London and married in 1748.
