Cricket Team in front of Tudor Hall 1880 with handwritten caption

Handwritten caption: Of the signatories, H W Engleheart obtained the VC [Victoria Cross] in the Boer War; H W Bryant kept wicket as an amateur for Middlesex; and J Samuels captained the Past v Present XI on Founder's Day for many years, scoring over 1100 runs in the match, and also arranged for a cutting to be taken of the mulberry tree in the playground of the old buildings (said to be one of the original trees introduced by James I) and planted between the road and the lodge of the present [Queens Road] buildings, where it now grows.

Painting of the School

The School in 1790 from a painting by Thomas Baskerfield in The Environs of London, by Lysons, in the British Museum. Cecil Tripp states (p15) that from 1637 to 1873 "the school buildings remained practically unaltered".

Architect's drawing for new classrooms

Architect's drawing for new classrooms, 1st July 1876. Cecil Tripp states (p120) that originally only four classrooms were planned. Before long however, further classrooms were needed, and it was proposed that the line of classrooms already erected be extended. Funds became available for the building of four additional classrooms (with a separate entrance), which were completed by the end of 1877.

Photograph of the new school entrance

The photograph was produced after the construction of a new entrance to the School grounds, with brick and stone gateposts and an iron railing fence. The right hand side gatepost bears the date "1875". In that year, the school was reopened after the implementation of a new Scheme of Management, made possible by the financial help of the Jesus Hospital charity of Barnet. At that time extensive building and renovation work took place, although the new entrance may not have been completed until 1877 (Tripp, pp. 109-122).

Photograph of the new school hall

Photograph of the new school hall taken inside the ground, taken evidently prior to the removal of the ivy in 1916, and showing a cultivated garden in the foreground. The conifer which appears in previous photographs was then still immature.

Photograph of cricketers in front of the new school hall

This 1880 photograph is the earliest known depiction of the (then) new entrance to the School Hall, constructed in 1874 or 1875, as part of the rebuilding scheme carried out at this time.
The group of cricketers includes H W Engleheart on the far left, later to be awarded the Victoria Cross in the Boer War.
