Felsted
School
Founded in 1564 by Lord Riche,
a Lord Chancellor of England, Felsted School is a co-educational
boarding and day school for 400 pupils. The school
has a fine tradition and reputation for academic and
sporting excellence and numbers Oliver Cromwell's son
among its past pupils.
The buildings of the school show the growth of the
institution from its Tudor origins, through to the
19th century, when the School expanded greatly
and School House was established. Recent development
has been far-reaching with the construction of modern
classroom blocks, a new dining hall and sports facilities.
