History
Chatham House was founded in 1797 by Dr William Humble along Chatham Street, although there is evidence that the school had preexisted prior to its formal establishment. The school underwent major changes during the 1800s. The buildings were renovated and expanded and rugby and hockey were introduced into the sporting programme.
