A school history research blog





Hello. I'm the Librarian at The Grey Coat Hospital in Westminster, and have by small degrees become the de facto historian and (not really an) archivist. 

It's a fascinating place, with a history going back to 1698. Some way into my research journey I've decided to start this blog to share my discoveries: partly because I get very excited and need to tell people when I unknot a question; and partly to keep track of my research.

Currently, I am concentrating on the headship of Miss Elsie Day 1874-1910, but I will also post about my earlier research on the beginnings of the school.

The Grey Coat Hospital School has been part of Westminster life since 1698, and on the current site in Greycoat Place since 1702. Thanks to...
