Durham School - History

History

The history of Durham School can be divided into three sections. Firstly there is the time from its founding by Langley in 1414, then in 1541 Henry VIII refounded it and finally in 1844 the school moved from its site on Palace Green to its current location. The school is often referred to in histories and the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography as "Durham Grammar School".
