Blundell's School
Dating to 1604, Blundell's school was funded by an
inheritance from Peter Blundell, a wealthy merchant who died in 1601. He
left money and lands in Tiverton and South Devon to found a school to
promote 'sound learning and true religion' - at the time it was the
largest and grandest in the area.
