Truro grammar school : ウィキペディア英語版
Truro Cathedral School

Truro Cathedral School was a Church of England school for boys in Truro, Cornwall. An ancient school refounded in 1549 as the Truro Grammar School, after the establishment of Truro Cathedral in the last quarter of the 19th century it was responsible for educating the cathedral's choristers and became known as the Cathedral School.
The school closed in July 1982.
==History==
An ancient foundation, the school existed before the Reformation as the chantry school of St Mary's Church, Truro. In 1549, following Edward VI's Abolition of Chantries Act of 1547 which suppressed all chantries, the school was refounded and took on a new identity as Truro Grammar School.〔"Truro Cathedral School traces its descent from a chantry school attached to St. Mary's Church. After the suppression of the chantries it became known as Truro Grammar School, having been refounded in 1549."--Brian Gardner, ''The Public Schools: an historical survey'' (1973)〕 However, as reported by Nicholas Carlisle in his survey of 1818, "The Grammar School at Truro owes its origin and endowment to some benevolent person, whose name is now not known."〔Nicholas Carlisle, ''A Concise Description of the Endowed Grammar Schools in England'', vol. 1 (1818), (pp. 144–145 )〕 The best evidence of the refounding of the school is an entry in the ''Journal of the House of Commons'' dated 21 May 1689, which refers to the grammar school being founded by a deed, since lost, of the third year of King Edward VI.〔'Truro Free Grammar School' in ''Schools Inquiry Commission'' (1868), (p. 447 )〕
In 1767, the Rev. St John Eliot, a former Rector of Truro, founded two Exhibitions tenable only at Exeter College, Oxford, worth £30 a year each, with preference to be given to boys from the school.〔''Schools Inquiry Commission, Vol. XIV South-Western Division'' (Eyre & Spottiswoode for H. M. Stationery Office, 1868), (p. 446 )〕〔 In 1818 Carlisle reported that over the previous ten years the number of scholars had been about fifty〔 and that
In the early 19th century an "anniversary school meeting" took place on every second Thursday in September, being a gathering of the school's former pupils.〔Polwhele, Richard (1816), (p. 68 )〕 Cyrus Redding, in his ''An Illustrated Itinerary of the County of Cornwall'' (1842) called Truro Grammar School "the most celebrated school in the county".〔
With the creation of the Diocese of Truro in 1876 from the Cornish part of the old Diocese of Exeter, the 16th-century parish church of St Mary's was designated as a cathedral. The church was then partly demolished and partly incorporated into the new neo-Gothic Truro Cathedral, built on the same site.〔Oliver Berry, Belinda Dixon, ''Devon, Cornwall & Southwest England'' (2008), p. 263: "TRURO CATHEDRAL Plonked like a neo-Gothic supertanker in the heart of town, ... Built on the site of the 16th-century parish church of St Mary's (part of which now forms the cathedral's South Transept..."〕 The pupils of the old grammar school had worshipped at St Mary's and became responsible for providing the new cathedral's choristers. It thus began to be known as the "Cathedral School".〔R. E. Davidson, ''The History of Truro Grammar and Cathedral School'' (Mevagissey: Kingston Publications, 1970), pp. 7–9〕
In 1906 the school was established as Truro Cathedral School by the Dean and Chapter as a Church of England public school.〔''Cornish Church Guide'' (1925) Truro: Blackford; pp. 326-27〕 By the early 20th century the school was an independent school and had a boarding house called Trewinnard Court. The buildings were designed by the cathedral architect F. L. Pearson and built in the precincts of the cathedral. In 1925 the headmaster resided at Trewinnard Court. At that time choristers paid no tuition fees and there were two Bray scholarships open to choristers worth £30 p.a. The Hawkins scholarship worth £80 p.a. was open to former pupils studying at a university and tenable for three years.〔''Cornish Church Guide'' (1925) Truro: Blackford; pp. 326-27〕 By the 1920s the cathedral school's reputation had significantly increased.〔Ian Gillman, ''Kernow'' (2007), p. 96〕
During the Second World War, the school took the junior boys evacuated from St Paul's, London, some of whom joined the Truro Cathedral choir.〔(Of Choristers – ancient and modern : St Paul’s Cathedral School, London ), at ofchoristers.net, accessed 8 April 2012〕
In 1949, the school was occupying Copeland Court, Kenwyn, formerly the bishop's palace known as 'Lis Escop'.〔Claude Berry, ''Portrait of Cornwall'' (1949) "And at Truro, too, in the chapel of Lis Escop, formerly the Bishop's Palace and now Truro Cathedral School, set among the pleasant greenery of Kenwyn on the northern outskirts of the city..."〕〔(Copeland Court, Truro ) at britishlistedbuildings.co.uk, accessed 9 April 2012〕 Until 1960, the school had a large building in the Cathedral Close.〔 In 1968 the school's age range was from seven to eighteen. There were 212 day boys and 109 boarders. Of these, twenty-two were cathedral choristers.〔''The Public and Preparatory Schools Year Book'', vol. 78 (1968): "Truro Cathedral School, Cornwall. Telephone, 2735. Founded in 1549, then Truro Grammar School. It is an Independent School age range 7-18, with 22 Choristers — 18 day and 6 Boarders and 194 Day and 103 Boarder non-Choristers".〕
In 1974 the school was teaching Cornish wrestling as part of its physical education programme and was the only school in Cornwall to do so.〔Peter Berresford Ellis, ''The Cornish Language and its Literature'' (1974), p. 199〕 In 1979 it was reported to provide "continuous education for boys from 7-18 either as boarders or as day boys".〔''Schools 1979'' (Truman & Knightley Educational Trust, 1979), p. 347: "Truro Cathedral School, Truro, Cornwall... Headmaster: JC Wolters, MA, Member of Society of Headmasters of Independent Schools. Truro Cathedral School is an Independent Church of England School, providing continuous education for boys from 7-18 either as boarders or as day boys."〕
