Questions about Old Royal School
Is Old Royal School on the National Inventory?
Yes: rated Regional (record 40833004).
Can you visit Old Royal School?
It can be seen from the street; whether you can go inside depends on its owner.
When was Old Royal School built?
Its National Inventory record dates it to 1730–1740.
Is Old Royal School protected?
Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
