SCHOOLS.
King Alfred’s Gram m ar School formerly stood in the
churchyard, having been erected there in the time of
Queen E liza b eth ; but on the occasion of the millenary
festival in commemoration of the birth of K in g Alfred,
in October, 1849, fluids were raised for the erection of
a more convenient building as a permanent memorial
of the labours of that enlightened monarch for the
advancement of learning, & in the following year
the present school buildings were erected on the south
side of the town ; these are in the Early English style,
form ing three sides of a quadrangle & retain the
fine old Norman doorway of the previous structure;
the school buildings have since been very m uch en­
larged by the addition of a separate block for science
purposes, containing chemical & physical laboratories
& balance, lecture & m anual instruction rooms, all
well equipped. The school will hold about 100 boys,
including 50 boarders, & there are now (1911) about
