The Old Lewesians Organisation is a body of former pupils and staff of the former Lewes County Grammar Schools in Sussex. From almost a thousand members we have assembled this large collection of material - panoramic photos, sports teams, school magazines, anecdotes, biographies, forums, members list of email addresses, news of our 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 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 pupils from primary schools in Lewes and a wide area of 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 access our Members pages and address lists to faciliate making contact with former school-friends. There is no subscription or obligations on members. See the "Welcome" page for contact links.
