Research Notes

"1619 Nov 15 – The Rev William Parker, rector of All Saints Church, in his will of this date left to Hastings Corporation 113 acres of land on the west side of Ore Valley the rents of which were to fund a school for local boys aged between ages six and eight inclusive. This, the town’s first school outside the castle, opened in 1639 in a house at the top of the High Street, where Torfield House is today. In 1878 his legacy helped pay for the creation of the Grammar School, later renamed the William Parker Comprehensive. Parker Road is part of that land"^[4]
