Her Majesty The Queen Visits King's Bruton - 28th March 2019 | King's Bruton

KSB in my day: 

Strange to think that I entered the Junior School in 1952, nearly a year before the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. We were soon encouraged to think of ourselves as the New Elizabethans!


"On 29th September 1519, King’s School Bruton was signed into life by the Bishop of London, Richard Fitzjames, the Attorney General, Sir John Fitzjames, the Chancellor of St Paul’s Cathedral, John Edmunds and Abbott William Gilbert of Bruton Monastery. Nearly five hundred years later, the School is on the cusp of reaching an incredible milestone, its quincentenary" - King's Bruton.


From Henry VIII to Elizabeth II.
