Teaching ceased on 30th March 1928. A planning notice on the gate proposes a change of use of 'The Old Georgian Rooms (Walter Scott Charity School) to offices.
Walter Scott was born in Ross-on-Wye in 1716 and ran away to London at the age of 13. He did not visit the town again until he was 69 years old. He died a year later, having left instructions in his will for the re-establishment of the Blue Coat Charity School. He is buried in the churchyard of St. Marys. |
