Details / Notes
- Built in 1577 after The Corporation of London granted Edward Underne permission to acquire funds for the construction work from church collections within the City of London. The date of the foundation of the School (1573) can be seen over the door of the building. The schoolhouse incorporated a dwelling for the Master, dormitories in the roof space, and turrets with staircases at either end. It was built opposite St John the Baptist Church on Wood Street. It is now a Grade II listed building. Its Blue Plaque reads: This Tudor Hall housed the free grammar school of Queen Elizabeth I who granted its charter in 1573

Architect's drawing for new classrooms
- A/TWE/ALB/V01/003
- Item
- 1st July 1876
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.

- 1870s
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).

Tripp (p.158) also records that the ivy growing on the School Hall was removed in 1916, so this photograph was almost certainly produced after that date.
