| The Grammar School, Guild Chapel and the Alms Houses |
| An Edwardian postcard by Raphael Tuck &Son. "In Church Street stands King Edward's Grammar School, where the boy Shakespeare was educated; the school buildings adjoin the Chapel of the Holy Cross. The Grammar School was founded in 1482 by Thomas Jolliffee (sic), a Stratford man, and refounded by the King in 1553. The Almshouses here were founded by Edward VI for twenty-four poor men and women." |
