The Old Lewesians Organisation
The Old Lewesians Organisation
The Old Lewesians Organisation website is for ex-pupils and staff of the former Lewes County Grammar Schools in Sussex. Founded in 2000 and with more than a thousand members, we have assembled this vast collection of material - panoramic photos, sports teams, school magazines, anecdotes, biographies, forums, a members list, news of regular reunions and much else.
The girls grammar school LCGSG opened in 1913 and won deserved recognition for its high standards in an age when women's secondary school state education had barely begun. Notable among the early headmistresses were Miss Vobes and Miss Moss.
The boys grammar school LCGSB opened in 1930 and became renowned for its high academic and sporting standards and its memorial chapel. For the first thirty years Mr N. R. J. Bradshaw was Headmaster - a man to whom so many owe so much.
In 1969 both schools, which had previously selected the brightest pupils from primary schools in Lewes and rural East Sussex, were absorbed (grounds, buildings, chapel, staff and pupils) into the comprehensive Lewes Priory School for the Lewes area.
Former pupils and staff can register as members and gain access to our members' pages and address lists to make contact with former school-friends. There is no subscription or obligation on members. See the "Welcome" page for membership application.
