Lambeth School
The Lambeth Boys School has its roots in a 1658 proposal to establish a free school in the parish of Lambeth, London. Over the centuries, the school has undergone several evolutions. In 1708, another charity school for poor boys was established in the area, and in 1753, the two institutions were combined under one roof after the construction of a new building. The school then moved to Hercules Road in 1851, and then to a new building in 1904, after the land was purchased by a railway company. Lambeth Boys School became a renowned institution in south London, patronized by the Archbishop of Canterbury. It was renowned for the quality of its teaching and its openness to all boys in the area, regardless of their social or religious background. The school also offered evening classes for adults and classes in arts and sciences, anticipating the future further education initiatives of the London School Board. The school produced many students who went on to higher education or prestigious careers, thanks in part to scholarships and the support of local benefactors. It also had a significant social impact, serving as a meeting and activity center for the local community.
