well adapted for the purpose it has to serve, and is said to be amply supplied with everything needful to the wants and comforts of its inmates.

The Writing School. The east end of the Hall Cloister descends into a covered area, called the New Cloister, over which is the Writing School, already mentioned as erected in 1694 by Sir J. Moore.

The Schools. These form an extensive range of buildings, constructed of yellowish brick, with stone facings, in the Tudor style. A covered cloister runs along the front of the edifice, beneath which are the entrances to the respective schools: the Grammar occupying the western, and the Mathematical the eastern division of the basement storey. The upper storeys contain the Drawing School at the eastern end, three Wards, or Dormitories, and a room for the Grecians, in which the boys' Library is deposited.1
