  The King's School is ancient enough for its history to overarch the history of England. Its close association with the centre of English Christianity exposed, for many centuries, to the forces that shaped national life. Its more modern history exhibits equally a microcosm of the succeeding secular society. The book concludes with the times of Canon Shirley, one of the great headmasters of the century, and the development of the school under him and his successors.
