History
Hospital schools date from the 13th century as boys' schools for parents who could not afford to pay school fees. They were also known as charity schools or Blue Coat schools. LCHS dates from the 11th century, but the charity school dates from the 17th century.
The Garton Archive, established by Professor Garton, an Old Lincolnian, houses documents, records, photographs and books detailing the history of the school.
