Take a short tour of the school founded by Bishop William of Wykeham in 1382 to replenish the clerics lost to the Plague. It consistently ranks as one of the best schools in the World - and now educates girls too. The school buildings take up a large part of St Cross south of the Cathedral Kings Gate arch (used for film sets such a Les Miserables)
This is one of the most famous schools in England, with stunning grounds, and you can go on organised tours.
