King Edward VI School in Chapel Lane
is the old Grammar School. In the 1570s, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth, William Shakespeare was educated in this school.
From the age of seven Shakespeare would have been taught Latin, Rhetoric and perhaps Greek. Lessons began with prayers at six o’clock in the morning during summer, and continued until 5 o’clock in the afternoon. In winter, although boys were expected to bring their own candles, the poor light meant a shorter day lasting from seven o’clock.
