From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Heath Grammar School, Free School Lane, Halifax, West Yorkshire was founded in 1585 by Dr John Favour. Its full title was The Free Grammar School of Queen Elizabeth. Henry Farror and his brother gave two acres of land in Skircoat Green and personally obtained the school charter from Elizabeth I of England at his own expense. Dr Favour became the Vicar of Halifax in 1593.
In 1985 the school was merged to form The Crossley Heath School.
The main school is now a listed Building.
