In 1685, Place House became a school for young Christ’s Hospital children which had been founded by King Edward VI. Place House and its surrounding outbuildings became a home and place of learning for many young boys. The Bluecoats (called this because of their distinctive uniform) became a familiar site around Ware for many years.
