Judd and the boars

This stone boar is on the pedestrian entrance to Tonbridge School, founded by Andrew Judde a rich local benefactor and six times Master of the Skinners  Company,  with a charter from Edward VI in 1553. The school was originally a free,  boarding, grammar school , the latter bit meaning that Latin, Greek and Hebrew should be taught.  It is now very expensive, still takes boarders and suspect the Hebrew has been dropped. There are boars heads on the Judd coat of arms, hence the fine stone heads that caught my eye as I walked up the High Street in Tonbridge today.
