Thank you to all the staff, students and

It has been a busy week at Nursery. Pathfinders have been looking at the life cycle of a butterfly. The children watched as our caterpillars grew, turning into chrysalis and then into beautiful butterflies. They were so excited to release them outside and were lucky enough to look at them closely before they flew away. The children enjoyed this activity so much and so now we have two other butterfly farms on the go here at the Nursery! We have also been very lucky to see the Amherst Prep chicks. The children viewed them in their warm incubator and then we all talked about springtime and signs of new life. The children were then creative in designing their own pictures of chicks. The children were very excited at meeting the chicks close up and some of our older children carefully took it in turns to hold the new arrivals. Carla Brindley Nursery Manager

Some of our boarders have been challenging, but they have learnt from their

house. We love to hear of past boarders’ successes in their careers and family lives.
We offer special and heartfelt thanks to our two sons, to the many house staff
who have supported us, in ways seen and unseen, and all others who have worked
tirelessly to ensure that the boarders have been safe and well under our roof.
Most of all, thank you, boys, for all the times you have co-operated with dances at
the Christmas meals, helped with Denton videos and quiz nights, for showing your
appreciation to staff, and for the hundreds and hundreds of times you have made us
smile and made us happy. Our life has been better because boarders have been in it.”

History
HISTORY
L IS FOR LEMYNGTON
In the entire A to Z there is only one name that is associated with a letter – L is for
Lemyngton.
That is deliberate as in every sense Ralph Lemyngton is the ‘forgotten man’ in both
the School’s and Loughborough’s history. He would have been totally forgotten had it
not been for Percy Davenport who was at LGS from 1895 to 1901.
After leaving School Percy went on to hold an important position in the Ministry of
Health but he was also regarded as an archaeologist and local historian.
Percy had a book published on the History of Stanmore, Middlesex, where he lived
and in the early 1930’s returned to visit the history of his old School and contributed a
series of articles to the Loughburian. These dealt with its origins, its early scholars and
particularly with the part played in its foundation by Ralph Lemyngton and through
the College of Heralds he established that the Lemygton arms were adopted as the
arms of the School, rather than just using them without any permission as it had
been doing since 1873.
In 1936 he sent the following letter to the Town Council:-
Sir,—So far, I have heard, the street now being constructed, linking Church-gate
with Baxter-gate, over the site of the recently demolished Church Gate Schools,
has not yet received a name. If this is so, and it is not too late, I should like to
be permitted to commend the suggestion that it be named Lemyngton Street,
to commemorate the name of one who deserves well of the inhabitants of
Loughborough— Ralph Lemyngton.
The Lemyngton family were important merchants of the Wool Staple of Calais,
and Ralph, who lived close to the church (he had a house in Sparrow-hill) was
perhaps the most influential of the family. Not only was he related to Thomas
Burton and the Wyggestons, of Leicester, but he was one of the early feoffees
of the Loughborough Town lands which now carry the name of the Burton
Charity, although the lands embraced far more property than the lands from
which the Town Trust takes its name.
Lemyngton’s coat of arms, perpetuated in the familiar Grammar School and
High School badges, is carved in stone over the west door of the Parish Church
of All Saints’, Loughborough, together with the arms of the Staple of Calais;
which goes to suggest that he was largely responsible for the building of the
present church tower. He also founded a chantry in the church, with revenues
far greater than that endowed by Thomas Burton; and he lies buried in the
church in which he worshipped.
The more one studies Ralph Lemyngton, the stronger does the conviction
grow that he has deserved far better of Loughburians than they have hitherto
realised. It would be a small and tardy act of recognition to give his name to
the new street hard by where he lived, and near the monuments of his piety
and public spirit.—Yours sincerely, Percy Davenport.
The Council agreed and finally the name Lemyngton has appeared in Loughborough.
Yet his name still did not appear anywhere in the Grammar School that he almost
definitely founded. There is Burton Street, Burton Walks, Burton Hall, Thomas
Burton Award, Thomas Burton Lodge, Thomas Burton Society etc. but no Lemyngton.
86 years after Percy’s letter to the Council and 527 years to the day that the deed of
feoffment left all Thomas Burton’s Lands to eventually form his Charity, on Thursday
28 April 2022, Grammar School Headmaster, Dr Christopher Barnett, unveiled a plaque
renaming the L Block the Lemyngton Buildings and this was corrected.
