Britain's What's On Event Guide
King Edward VII Academy
Heritage Open Day: A Lynn Landmark! There will be Old Lennensians and current staff available to provide you the opportunity to tour the buildings and see some of the amazing renovations that have taken place over the last year.
From the grand oil paintings and the gold-leaf embellished clock to the many Honours Boards and War Memorials which adorn the halls of King Edward VII Academy, there is no lack of history within this Edwardian style building. Originally founded in 1510, from a bequest in the will of Thomas Thoresby (1450–1510), former Mayor of Lynn, the current building was donated by Sir William Lancaster, an alumni, in 1906. The former Grammar School has served as a landmark in King’s Lynn for more than a century, and has welcomed monarchs and royal visitors on many occasions.
