17. Leicester (11) East St Martin's and The Free Grammar School
10 Loseby Lane in East St Martin, Leicester, once a house but now part of the commercial side of East St Martins.
The 'old' doorways of 10 Loseby Lane and 21 St Martin's, two houses in East St Martin.
Number 21 St Martins was an eighteenth century urban gentleman's house, what splendid accommodation it must have been when in residence!
The Free Grammar School (an educational establishment founded in 1573) building was, as the plaque on it reads, 'built using materials salvaged from the medieval church of St Peter and has been restored to preserved its historic fabric by Hammerson in 2006'.
The Coat of Arms on the front wall of the Free Grammar School of 1573.
Across the road from the Free Grammar School is the Richard III pub, well, a lesson for us all from 1485, but the workmen engaged on the big town centre development project don't seem too worried! * Interesting historic towns, villages, cities and other places to visit or walks in the England's Midlands region * Page updated Sept 17th 2008 * EMAIL Phil Brown * pictures images photos © Phil Brown * |
