Robert Aske made his will in 1689. It included, in trust to the Worshipful Company of Haberdashers, provision that 'Twenty poore Boyes shall be ffreemens Sonnes.' Here is the story of how this modest institution grew to become a major public school with an outstanding reputation for academic and cultural achievement. The journey was by no means an easy one. This richly illustrated account, told with authority and wit, recounts corruption and conflict in many of the early years. But by the beginning of the 20th century the School began to grow and evolve very successfully, underpinned by the move to Elstree in 1961.
