Story of Hampton School - in 1556, a wealthy brewer who had acquired property in Hampton left in his will provision for the maintenance of a 'free scole' and to build a small schoolhouse 'with seates in yt' in the churchyard. This is the story of its survival and eventual growth to become a great school with an enviable reputation for high achievement, both academically and in sport, that it is today.
