The original Grammar School was once sited behind St Peter's School building next to the church yard of St Peter's Church. Built in 1567, six years after the Letters Patent of Elizabeth I authorising a Free Grammar School in Mansfield. Re-built in 1705, it continued to be used as a Grammar School until 1879 when the school re-located to the premises shown here. It was built in 1875 by Giles and Gough of London in local stone with gables, bay castelated windows and quoins.
