The Old Grammar School, Wimborne Minster, Dorset Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School was founded by Lady Margaret Beaufort (1443–1509), the mother of Henry VII. Her father, John Beaufort, 1st Duke of Somerset, occupied the Kingston Lacy estate in the mid 15th Century and Lady Margaret was brought up there. When John Beaufort died he was buried at Wimborne Minster and his daughter set up a chantry to say masses for his soul in perpetuity. Later, in her will, she included a provision that the chantry priest "should teach Grammar freely to all who come thereto". Tithes on properties belonging to her estate were assigned for the payment of the Grammar School's expenses. In 1563 Queen Elizabeth Ist reconfirmed the provisions of Lady Margaret’s will on condition that from then on the school be known as Queen Elizabeth's Free Grammar School in Wimborne Minster. Converted to flats some years ago. M11, 50mm Noctilux f1.2 Re-Issue 6 Link to post Share on other sites Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!
