About

Founded in 1585 and attended by Wordsworth from 1779. The single classroom and master's study are preserved almost intact, including the desk where the young poet scratched his name.

Roger Recommends

"Combine with the Beatrix Potter Gallery next door — joint walks make a perfect rainy morning."
