The Grammar School, Warminster

Some notes by the Reverend Henry Robert Whytehead in the booklet The Minster And Church Life In Warminster, published in 1911:

The Grammar School
Everyone who visits the Minster must notice the interesting early XVIII century building known as Lord Weymouth’s Grammar School. An inscription over the beautiful doorway says “To the Glory of God, and advancement of religion and learning, this School was built and endowed by Thomas Lord Viscount Weymouth, A.D., 1707.”

Dr. Arnold, of Rugby, received his early education at Warminster. The School is maintaining a very vigorous life, under the Headmastership of W. F. Blaxter, Esq. The boys attend the Minster, in which the S. Aisle is allotted to them.
