A BRIEF HISTORY

Built in the 17th century as the Rectory, part of the Rectory Manor, the Gascoigne Building was owned by the Smiths brewing family for much of the 19th and early 20th centuries. In the 1970s the building was enlarged with an office block by Anglian Water Authority.

The School purchased the property from them in the 1990s. The Gascoigne was officially opened in March 1996 and named after Mr C. Gascoigne, former chair of the Governors and a member of the Worshipful Company of Grocers.
