HISTORICAL NOTE: Bentley's school was founded in 1663 under
his will of 29 September 1660. After many organizational
disasters the Charity Commission re-organized the school and
in 1901 amalgamated it with the Technical Institute which had
been established in 1894 at a cost of ยป1,500. Prominently
sited in The Green, having group value with a fine group of
listed buildings.
