The Chantry, Higham Ferrers
Also has been known as the Grammar School.
It sits within the grounds of St Mary the Virgin, beside the Tower/Spire at the west end of the church. Popular tradition has suggested that Archbishop Henry Chichele, who was born in the town and died in 1443, left a legacy for its construction, but no written evidence has be found of this. It was closed as a school in 1912 when it reverted to church use.
As an extra I have included a shot of the church that shows The Chantry by the base of the tower and partially hiding behind a bush.
