Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Register of Tonbridge School, From 1820 to 1893: Also Lists of Exhibitioners, &C., Previous to 1820, and of Head Masters and Second Masters But perhaps the foundation-stone of the original building, which is now inserted in the wall over the door of the Head Master's house, supplies the most valuable piece of evidence as to the date at which the existence of the School actually commenced for, on the stone may still be read the following inscription, This Shole, made bi Sir Andro Judde, Knight, and gevin to the Company of Skinners, Ano -we may mention as a fact also bearing on the date of the foundation of the School, that the Skinners' account books for the year 1559-60 give details of extensive repairs in the School building, which could scarcely have been necessary if the School had only been erected in 1558. Lastly, John Proctor attained to a high reputation as Head of the School, and yet his successor was appointed in 1559. Can it be believed that John Proctor could have become eminent as Head Master of_ Tonbridge if he had reigned only a Single year? On the whole, we are forced to the conclusion that the School was actually erected and at work very soon after the original Charter was granted.
