A Lynn Landmark!

There will be Old Lennensians and current staff available to provide you the opportunity to tour the buildings and see some of the amazing renovations that have taken place over the last year.

From the grand oil paintings and the gold-leaf embellished clock to the many Honours Boards and War Memorials which adorn the halls of King Edward VII Academy, there is no lack of history within this Edwardian style building. Originally founded in 1510, from a bequest in the will of Thomas Thoresby (1450–1510), former Mayor of Lynn, the current building was donated by Sir William Lancaster, an alumni, in 1906. The former Grammar School has served as a landmark in King’s Lynn for more than a century, and has welcomed monarchs and royal visitors on many occasions.

BUS STOP! This event features on our HODs bus route around King’s Lynn. Why not take a ride on one of our vintage buses, which will also stop at other events throughout the town. See the bus timetable in the printed programme or on via our website for more details.
