Excerpt from A History of Shrewsbury School: From the Blakeway and Many Other Sources The compilation of this work has taken much longer than was originally intended, but the difficulties in obtaining information have been great. The School Bailiff and Treasurer, E. Calvert, Esq., LL.D., could find School Records of any kind prior to 1798 in the School Chest. The whole of the text to page 217 was revised by the Rev. W. A. Leighton (so well kwn as the best authority on Shrewsbury Antiquities), who made many additions, and it is a source of deep regret that his death took place in the early part of the present year, before the work was completed.
