Also known as Wolfenden Booth School. Founded in 1701 by John Kershaw for instruction in Latin and English subjects free (other subjects were to be paid for); endowment to follow his wife Anne's death. Following her death in 1709, for the first two years the feeoffes spent the rents endowed for the school in building the school-house, which was finished in 1711, after which the rents went to pay the schoolmaster. VCH, Lancs., II, 613; Gastrell, Notita Cestrienses, II.ii, 342. Where two schoolmasters are to be found for the chapelry in 1712, it has been assumed that both belong to the Grammar School, but it is equally possibly that only one is schoolmaster there.
