context_page_description: St Bees School is a co-educational independent school in the West Cumbrian village of St Bees, England. It was founded in 1583 by Edmund Grindal, the then Archbishop of Canterbury, as a boys' free grammar school. In 1978, the school became co-educational.
context_section_description: The school grounds occupy approximately 250 acres (100 ha), and the oldest buildings date from the late 16th century. The buildings around the main quadrangle in the Foundation block are Grade II listed. This includes the original schoolroom on the lower northern side of the quadrangle. Lonsdale Terrace is another grade II listed building owned by the school, also built in the mid 19th century. Previously, the school had use of the former chancel of the Priory Church (though it did not own the building), which is a Grade I listed building, granting additional protection above Grade II. The school used this room for orchestra and choir practices.
