1530<\/h3>
John Whitgift was born in Grimsby, Lincolnshire to parents Henry and Ann. The name Whitgift originated from a village of that name 5 miles east of Goole in East Yorkshire.<\/div><\/div> <\/div><\/div>

\"John<\/p>\n

John Whitgift<\/a> was enthroned as Archbishop of Canterbury on the 23rd<\/sup> of October. As Archbishop, John Whitgift would travel regularly between Lambeth and Canterbury, stopping off in Croydon along the way and staying at the Croydon Palace (now Old Palace School). It is these journeys that developed John Whitgift\u2019s fondness for Croydon.<\/div><\/div> <\/div><\/div>

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

1594-1596<\/h3>
John Whitgift noted the hardships endured by the people of Croydon and developed his vision to leave a legacy to the town. He wanted to build an almshouse to look after the poor and needy and a school to educate the young. He bought land within easy reach of the church and palace and wrote to Queen Elizabeth I to ask permission to build a hospital on this site. The licence was granted and the first two foundation stones were laid to the Hospital of the Holy Trinity on 22nd March 1596.<\/div><\/div> <\/div><\/div>

The school along with a Schoolmaster\u2019s House opened adjacent to the Hospital to educate 12 boys. It was a grammar school and the children from Croydon were taught freely while others who could pay were charged fees.<\/div><\/div> <\/div><\/div>

\"JohnJohn Whitgift died on the 29th of February 1604 and he was laid to rest in Croydon Minster where his tomb lies today. His legacy continues more than four centuries later through the work of his charity, the John Whitgift Foundation.<\/div><\/div> <\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
By the mid-19th Century there were two schools: a \u201cPoor\u201d or elementary School, and a \u201cCommercial\u201d or \u201cMiddle-class\u201d School.<\/span><\/div>

1856<\/h3>
With the limited funds available, it was only possible to open the \u201cPoor\u201d School, which was opened in January in Church Road with Mr William Ingrams as Headmaster.\u00a0 To this School came the boys from the \u201cNational\u201d School that had been conducted in the old Schoolhouse since 1812, and which had now closed down. Meanwhile, the Schoolmaster continued for a while to teach the classics to a few fee-payers in the Schoolmaster\u2019s House.<\/div><\/div> <\/div><\/div>

1871<\/h3>
Whitgift Middle-class School was opened (to distinguish it from the Poor School) but was known usually as Whitgift School<\/a>.\u00a0(In the 17th and 18th centuries the School had been known as the \u201cPublic or Free School of Croydon\u201d, but early in the 19th century the Society of Friends had established a school known as \u201cCroydon School\u201d in the town, and a private schoolmaster had set up a Croydon Grammar School\u201d, so the Governors had recourse to the Founders name for the title of the revived school). The new school was designed by architect Sir Arthur Blomfield (among his works; are Selwyn College, Cambridge and buildings at Eton, Charterhouse and other public schools). The design was \u2018Collegiate Perpendicular Gothic\u2019. The tower stands solidly when seen from the gated entrance in North End.<\/div><\/div> <\/div><\/div>

1882<\/h3>
In January the Poor School\u2019s premises were opened to new pupils, but under the same Headmaster (William Ingrams), as a secondary school of the third grade, called Whitgift Middle School.\u00a0 At the same time, the \u201cMiddle-Class\u201d School was unequivocally designated the first-grade school and took the name of Whitgift Grammar School; in nearly all respects it continued as before with the same staff, pupils and curriculum.<\/div><\/div> <\/div><\/div>
