EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1862, showcases The Godolphin School located in Hammersmith, west London. The school derives its name from William and Elizabeth Godolphin, who generously left a substantial sum of money for educational purposes. At the time, there was no public grammar-school in Hammersmith or the adjacent districts of Fulham, Chiswick, and Notting-hill. In June 1862, the Lord Bishop of London laid the first stone of the building, which was set to open after the Midsummer holidays. The school accommodated 40 boarders and 160 day scholars, offering excellent facilities. The projecting part on the right is the south end of the large schoolroom. The ground-floor windows to the left of the schoolroom are those of classrooms, while the three windows on the other side of the principal entrance belong to the dining-hall. The two lines of windows above the main part of the ground floor are those of dormitories, sick room, bathroom, and other necessary facilities. The private residence of the Head Master is on the left. The cost of the building and fittings (exclusive of site, boundary walls, and other expenses) amounted to approximately £6000. The architect for this magnificent structure was Mr. Charles H. Cooke, and the works were skillfully carried out by Mr. Fitzwater. This photograph captures a significant moment in the history of The Godolphin School, providing a glimpse into the educational opportunities and architectural advancements of the time.
