Heversham Grammar School was founded and endowed on 24 January 1619/20, [1] by Edward Wilson, Kt (1557-1653), of Nether Levens, who also owned Heversham Hall. [2] It occupied the site known in recent years as Old School, above and behind the village church, on Heversham Head. The building is now a private house. The present ivy-clad Boarding House and Big School (formerly the school hall) date from the 1880s. [3]
