This blue commemorative plaque records: Portsmouth Grammar School. Portsmouth's oldest school, founded by Dr. William Smith in 1732, has occupied these buildings, part of the former Cambridge Barracks, since 1926. Richard I built a royal residence here in the late 12th century. Portsmouth Theatre occupied part of the High Street frontage until its demolition in 1854 to make way for the present building. Recorded plaque organisation: Portsmouth City Council.
