Old Felstead School, Felstead, Essex, England: A Glimpse into Elizabethan Education This evocative image transports us back to Old Felstead School in Felstead, Essex, England, founded in 1564 by the 1st Lord Rich. The school, a testament to the rich educational history of Britain, is nestled amidst the picturesque English countryside. The 1st Lord Rich, a man of vision and influence, established this private institution over 450 years ago. The school's founding predates the Elizabethan era, making it one of the oldest schools in England. This print offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the school's historic architecture and the daily life of its students during the late Tudor period. Old Felstead School was not just a place of learning for the privileged few; it was also a public institution, open to students from various social backgrounds. The school's curriculum would have included the three R's – reading, writing, and arithmetic – as well as Latin, Greek, and other classical subjects. The image reveals the school's grandeur, with its imposing stone walls, tall chimneys, and large windows. The students, dressed in the attire of the time, can be seen engaged in their studies or at play, providing a fascinating insight into the daily routine of an Elizabethan school. Old Felstead School continues to thrive today, having evolved into a modern, co-educational institution while preserving its rich history. This print serves as a reminder of the school's storied past and its enduring commitment to education.
