What is recorded here
This blue commemorative plaque records: Grade II* Listed building, originally bought in 1600 as the free Daventry Grammar School. Now known as The Windsor Lodge, the school was much later converted to the Roman Catholic Church before becoming a restaurant, a private house, then a cafe. The left side of the building (with the signage) was added approximately 100 years after the school room, and was used as the Masters House. Recorded plaque organisation: Daventry Heritage Trail.
The Daventry Grammar School, established in 1600, served as a significant educational institution for centuries before undergoing multiple transformations, including its conversion into a Roman Catholic church and various commercial uses. The building's evolution reflects changes in local religious practices and economic activities over time.
