E l W , the authors of this work , be ieve that a history of the Grammar School at Andover has never before ” n new n bee written , and that this work is a thi g , not withstanding the sweeping assertion made by a certai n wise man n - n of the East some twe ty eight hu dred years ago . At the m n the a d same ti e , judgi g from time n labour e n in xpended upo this work , we are fully accord with that ’ sage s d ictum in respect of the making of many books n me e n a ly , that to such an und rtaki g there is no end , and that a great weariness of the ﬂesh is his portion who r studieth ove rnuch . To apologize for our poor little book would scarcely ne bu t an n be ho st , expla ation of the great discursiveness n m e na n and therei com itted requires xpla tio , the reason for - n m an n t such is two fold , a ely to give our readers i sigh into the co ndition s of life at Andover at certain periods of ’ n and for » u r oses of e n the school s existe ce , p p r fere ce in ’ case other volumes of An dover s history shou ld ever be completed . f n m n e V IZ We o fer warm tha ks to our a y h lpers , F or e n n e R.

It was fou ded (as a schole n n n n e e by Joh Ha so , of A dov r , by d ed of gift 1 1 and u e di n ﬁve e 2 . dat d 5 Feb , 57 , its fo nd r ed withi weeks t e of that date at h age of 54 or 55 years . From the dates of the earliest deed of appointment of a Twitchin e e n 6 . schoolmast r that we possess (Al xa der , Feb , and the stone preserved from the early school u n e n m b ildi gs , which also b ars the i itials of that school aster T en e n n (A. . it is g erally b lieved that the ope i g of the school was delayed for ten years from the date of John ’ n n n — n e Ha so s gift , but we thi k it probable that as the fou d r e e of the school and this schoolmaster wer both Wyk hamists , though of differen t generations— John Hanson himself in n e and he end started a school A dov r , as saw his approach m e n l m ing , hastily ad preparatio for its estab ish ent on a e con rme p rmanent foundation .

I INTRODUCTION all available documents having referen ce to this subject and in vite the reader to form his (or her) own O pinion on the matter . With regard to the possible earlier existence of any school n e e no n at A dov r we hav direct evide ce of such , and the fact that as late as 1 590 several of our city fathers su bscribed no more than single signs or misformed letters for their signatures suggests that penmanship at least was not indigenous to this neighbou rhood and that those good n e t m Ou men never e joy d facilities for acquiring he sa e . the other hand we find that many of those ancient worthies ’ were possessed of this accomplishment and therefrom suspect that a school was in existence somewhere nearabouts ot though doubtless n a free school . Very probably the Priory folk had atten ded to the education of such An dover n the youth as were desti ed for Church , but if they did a l n n ike service for others it had lo g si ce ceased , the Priory n e e in 1 1 n havi g be n dissolv d 4 4 , when Wi chester College e e few l took ov r its property with , doubtl ss , as of its ob iga e n tions as possible . Whether or not ducatio for girls was nne of e we not n ever available at the Nu ry Wherw ll do k ow , e in 1 1 mun no m but in eith r case 57 that com ity was ore , it having been dispersed in 1 540 . The town rental for the year 1 446 contains en tries of paymen ts for a holdin g in Wodestrete (Lon don Street) an d an acre of lan d near Chalkeputty s (the Iron - bridge chalkpit) which are there in dicated as havin g been in the occu pation of one Lu ke Scholema stre ma en an n e n y , but his y have be i herit d sur ame o en e n l with n refer ce what ver to his i dividual ca lin g . me e e on n the An So r ad rs of this book , learni g that dover ire schole n m was fou ded by a Wykeha ist , will probably n n n e be e thi k that it was i te d d to , for gift d boys , a stepping n n e e e e n n n n sto e to Wi ch ster , b sid s b i g a fou t of lear i g for the rank an d file . We therefore give below a complete n e and n n list of A dover , Foxcot E ham boys who have e tered Win chester on the foun dation sin ce the (gen erally accepted) ope ni ng year from which will be seen the remarkable fact that there were exceedi ngly few such during the first ’ n e en and me ce tury of our school s xist ce , so of those were a e n n e en Matk h m birds of pass g , for i sta c H ry y (ad itted to n e in 1 6 0 the son n e Matk n Wi chest r 4 ) of Fra c s y , Vicar of m i 2 e n 1 6 .

The statement r it ri i R 1 8 by M . W. H . W. T he d ge n his eport ( 37) that

John Han son in addition to the £20 0 given (etc. ) in his e m also e lif ti e , had given the residu of his goods for the one e erection of a schoolhouse , is of the few mistak s con tained in l n and mis that excel e t work , it is due to his n an n readi g of extract o ly , which was all t hat he stated he ’ e had s en of John Hanson s will. n n Havi g stated the amou t of the Hanson gift , it now em n r ai s to be told what became of it and where it now is . We learn from the bond of William Blake (quoted below) e n n n that Bishop Horn , at some date withi the i e years

35 THE BENEF ACTIONS

n u n m n m * to the school of the u sec red e dow e t oney, it is probable that public O pinion became su fﬁ ciently audible m e m to cause Willia Blak , the survivor , to be so far oved in Con scien ce for the saide somme of Two hun dred p oun d es as to agree to en ter in to a new bon d (given 8 and e 2 A . 1 60 n below dat d p , 3) for the repayme t of prin cipal n e e n n n and i t r st , co ditio al upo the origin al bon d never n n 11 turni g up agai . It W1 be seen that he there un dertook to still con ti n ue to pay the annual interest an d to repay the o - n 1 60 . ai in th principal Lady day, 5 That he f led e latter u n dertakin g we learn from the followin g order in coun cil d 1 6 1 1 ne in n ated 4 June , , contai d the Cou cil minutes Ordered that if William Blake shall not pay or give r B li security unto M . ay ffe and the Company for the £200 ch w was given to the use of the Free schoole that re mayneth in his han d before Thursday next then there ll e e n sha be furth r ord r take for the said moneys . During the time that the Blakes held the Hanson mon ey they appear to have paid the yearly in terest direct to the m n u n l e e e e n e school aster , co se q e t y th r is no r f re c whatever in n an we nn to those matters the town accou ts , d ca ot therefore learn from them when the money was repaid to th . e e e the town It appears probable , howev r , that abov n f e an d quoted admonitio had the desired e f ct , that the money was shortly afterwards returned without d ispute because we learn from the balan ce - sheet in scribed Vindi ” cacion 1 8 Dec. 1 6 1 8 in in , dated , (quoted full the en i n e- m n App dix) , wh ch is a bala c sheet of the charity o ies

the the m etc . Wm . after purchase of Town ills , , that Blake ’ had lately repaid £5 0 of £ 1 00 (probably part of Kemis s e in an d bequ st) , which he had owed earlier the year , such would scarcely have been entrusted to his care if he were m a defaulter in respect of other public monies . Fro the time that the Hanson gift was returned to the Co rp oration the paymen ts to the schoolmaster would appear in the n the 1 6 1 2—1 6 1 town accou ts , but these are lost for period 7 , — and in those for the years 1 6 1 8 1 6 1 9 we hnd recorded four half - yearly payments o nly of £3 each to the s obole e 1 622 n master .

IGH up above the win dows of the street -front of the modern buildings of the Grammar School may be seen a the stone alre dy referred to , a facsimile of which a 1 82 ppears at the head of this page . It bears the date 5 and l e ﬁrst m the initia s of the (suppos d ) school aster, Alexander ’ Twitchin nd m n lares et enates , a a o gst the school s p it has m no rival , for it has looked down from so e more or less e xalted position upon the heads of the said Alexander and many others who knew John hanson yt dwellyth at ﬂesh n london in the , and upo a multitude of hot n And overians i me blooded you g long s nce passed away, so n — - at- m — in in dista t lands , whilst others stay ho es rest their quasi playgroun d on the other side of the churchyard wall.

58 (THE EXECUTI ON O F J OHN B ODY)

We are here tempted to pause awhile and ask the ques tion : What did the boys of that and the succeeding generations see from their school windows at that corn er o f S New treet and London Lane , on that great road from

London to the West Country , that thoroughfare through ’ out our whole kingdom in the western parts , as it is ’ in C a 2 1 Ma 1 called Queen Elizabeth s h rter of y , 599, and which it actu ally was un til the making of the n ew Lon don turnpike road in 1 755 ? What did they see ’ Well l there was a gibbet standing in those days on Devil s close by London way (on the right -han d side going Lond on ard s w ) , and whether or not it formed one of the

n M 2 . sce es in the tra gedy of that Black onday , 5 Nov , e n o e not wh n Joh B dy was butchered at Andov r , we do know . The occurrence must have had its effect upo n the school at An dover because John Body had been a school ’ l Twitchin on e fellow of A exander , who was but year Body s Twitchin in 1 senior . entered Winchester 559 and Body 1 62 and F ll w in 5 , they were admitted to e o ships at New C in ollege , Oxford , the same year , Body was the

They saw plenty of that wise fool James , who was here 1 6 1 1 6 1 in 3 , 5 , T and and probably lodged near by at the old Priory house .

- Mr. were absolutely Free scholars , and Bury was even ’ to remit his ﬁrst month s income to the family of his pre n M n u s decessor .
