Felsted School

Founded in 1564 by Lord Riche, a Lord Chancellor of England, Felsted School is a co-educational boarding and day school for 400 pupils. The school has a fine tradition and reputation for academic and sporting excellence and numbers Oliver Cromwell's son among its past pupils.

The buildings of the School show the growth of the institution from its Tudor origins, through to the 19th century, when the School expanded greatly and School House was established. Recent development has been far-reaching with the construction of modern classroom blocks, a new dining hall and sports facilities.
