Loughborough Grammar School, founded in 1495, is one of the oldest independent boys' schools in the UK, with a rich history rooted in a bequest from Thomas Burton, a local wool merchant.
The school's origins are linked to the town's Parish Church, where the initial endowment was made.
Over time, the school moved from the churchyard to various locations in Loughborough before settling at its current site on Burton Walks in 1852.
