King Henry VIII Grammar School,
Abergavenny,
Monmouthshire was one of a series of
schools founded during the
Reformation in
England and
Wales in
1542 from property seized from monasteries and religious congregations. In this case, a school which had been associated with the local
Priory Church was administered by the (now

David Lewis, was the first Principal of
Jesus College, Oxford. Amongst other distinguished pupils, well-known writer and critic
Raymond Williams gave a fictionalised account of his time there in the novel "
Border Country"
