English: Entrance to former church and grammar school St. John's Church is thought to date from the early 1300s but once St. Marys Priory was given to the people for use as their parish church following the dissolution of the monasteries, St. Johns became disused and in 1542 it became the towns grammar school. Henry VIII gave tithes, once used to support the priory, to the school. In 1898 a new school was built away from the town centre and named King Henry VIII Grammar School. St.Johns was then purchased by the Freemasons and used as their lodge.
