Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School, Ipswich, 1862. Creator: Unknown
Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School, Ipswich, 1862. The new building stands on high and rising ground to the north of the town...[and] overlooks the Arboretum...and commands an extensive view of the beautiful River Orwell and the rich valley of the Gipping on the south and west. The building possesses quite a collegiate appearance, in the Tudor style, having a frontage of 168ft. and a depth on the south of 110ft. The front elevation, with its projecting porch and gables, pinnacles and parapets, has a very pleasing effect. The porch of the main entrance is a facsimile of a much-admired relic, Wolsey's Gate, which still stands in another part of the town; and the entire building, built with red brick and black mortar, is in strict accordance with it - a very happy idea, thus connecting the present with the past in a very effective manner. At the several external angles octagonal buttresses rise above the springing of the gables and ornamental parapets, and terminate in pinnacles. A tower, 70ft. high, crowns the entrance-hall. Internally the arrangements are complete and convenient. A detached chapel stands at the north-east end; and in the rear is a playground covering an area of 6¼ acres'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1862, showcases Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School in Ipswich, England, during an era of significant expansion and architectural innovation. The new school building, located on a hill north of the town, boasts a collegiate appearance in the Tudor style, with a frontage of 168ft. and a depth of 110ft. on the south. Overlooking the Arboretum and commanding an extensive view of the River Orwell and the Gipping Valley, the structure exudes an air of elegance and sophistication. The front elevation, adorned with a projecting porch, gables, pinnacles, and parapets, boasts a pleasing effect reminiscent of a bygone era. The porch's design is inspired by Wolsey's Gate, a cherished relic still standing in another part of the town, effectively connecting the present with the past. Octagonal buttresses, rising above the gables and ornamental parapets, culminate in pinnacles, adding to the structure's grandeur. A 70ft. tower crowns the entrance hall. Internally, the arrangements are complete and convenient, with a detached chapel situated at the north-east end and a playground covering an area of 6¼ acres at the rear. This photograph, taken from Illustrated London News in 1862, offers a glimpse into the rich history and architectural beauty of Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School in Ipswich.
