Fix this textTHE ancient Lincolnshire town of Grantham, lying in a valley near the
Fix this textsource of the River Witham, between Lincoln and Leicester, has ds roots
Fix this textdeep in Saxon England. At the time of the Domesday Survey in 1086 it
Fix this textwas a well-established community, and from the reign of Edward the Con-
Fix this textfessor to that of William 111 Grantham was part of the royal demesne. By
Fix this text1463 it had received from Edward IV one of the early charters of
Fix this textincorporation.
Fix this textThe growth of the medieval wool trade in Lincolnshire brought consider-
Fix this textable wealth to the town, but its importance declined during the reign of
Fix this textHenry VIII. Today it is not only the market and shopping centre for a wide
Fix this textcountry area, but it is a thriving and growing industrial town noted through-
Fix this textout the world for its engineering products and it has, in addition, many and
Fix this textvaried subsidiary industries of high repute.
Fix this textAmong the several historic buildings to be seen in Grantham is the old
Fix this textGrammar School, or King’s School, shown in the accompanying illustration.
Fix this textIt was founded in the early 16th century by Richard Fox, Bishop oi
Fix this textWinchester, and founder of Corpus Christi College at Oxford. It derives its
Fix this textname from the refounding charter granted by Edward VI. The school is
Fix this textrenowned for the many distinguished men who received their early education
Fix this textthere. These included Sir William Cecil, minister of Queen Elizabeth I;
Fix this textHenry More, the 17th-century philosopher; Colley Cibber, the 18th-century
Fix this textpoet and playwright; and most, distinguished of all was Sir Isaac Newton,
Fix this textwho carved his name on a window-sill. He is generally acknowledged as
Fix this textamong the world’s greatest men of science and he achieved immortal fame
Fix this textfor his work on the nature of white light, the calculus and gravitation. He
Fix this textwas bom in 1642 at Woolstorpe, Lincolnshire, the son of a farmer. After
Fix this textleaving the Grantham Grammar School he studied at Trinity College,
Fix this textCambridge. In 1688 he represented Cambridge as a member of Parliament;
Fix this texthe was president of the Royal Society from 1703 until his death in 1727, and
Fix this texthe was buried among the illustrious in Westminster Abbey.
