| The Grammar School | |||

| The Grammar School, which gave fee-paying boys a classical education, was erected in Cross Street in 1841, because the locality of the earlier school, Stoneygate, had declined in respectability to become "one of the very lowest parts of the town". The architect was again Mr. John Welch and private shareholders provided funds for its construction. It was not until February 1860 that Preston Corporation bought the Grammar School for £1,527 and 10 shillings. | |||
