529 years of Loughborough Grammar School - Tower Opening and Exhibition

As part of Loughborough's Heritage Open Weekend, learn about one of the school’s most famous alumni, World War II fighter pilot Johnnie Johnson through artefacts associated with him. There will also be information on display about the school during WWI and WWII. Visitors will be able to learn about 220 dates in the School's History and there will be the opportunity to see never before seen materials from the School’s archive, such as the 36 A2 sheets of the 1850 contract to build the school. This year celebrates 100 years of the first singing of the School Hymn and there is an exhibition celebrating the life of its author, Canon George Briggs. The Tower is a landmark that dominates the Loughborough skyline and will be open, especially for the day for visitors to climb. After visiting, site visitors will be given the ‘Town Trail’ of sites associated with the School or they will be invited to download an exclusive app by QR code.
