Title

Old Grammar School

Description

The Old Grammar School in Market Harborough, around 1920. Built in 1614 and funded by Robert Smyth, the Old Grammar School is one of Market Harborough's most instantly recognisable landmarks.

The beautiful timber structure was built on posts to keep people dry in times of bad weather and to allow the butter market to continue to be held. The Grammar School underwent a renovation in 1789, an extension in 1869 and a £30,000 restoration in 1977.

Also visible is the Church of St Dionysius and the Dolphin Inn, which was demolished in the 1930s to make way for the extension to the R. and W.H. Symington corset factory.
