Grand Staircase, Ashburnham
Grand Staircase, Ashburnham
GB 2014 WS-02-POS-01-25C · Item · c.1911
Part of Westminster School's Archive and Collections

One copy annotated on reverse by R.S. Chalk, as follows:
'1918-1924
In those days Ashburnham Staircase was regarded as a ‘nine days’ wonder’ and considered so exceedingly precious that we boys were only allowed to use it once every three years - at ‘Commem’. I have memories of walking up it for the first time on Nov 17, 1919 and again that date in 1922. We walked in wonder and awe, but there was such a crush we could hardly appreciate its beauty. Towards the end of my time (presumably after A.T. Willet became Librarian in 192__) regulations were relaxed and the Staircase was more frequently opened. But it then ceased to bear its former ‘inaccessibility’ charm!'

There are four House ledgers which record events in the House including details of sports, societies and plays performed by the House. As well as these ledgers there are sports ledgers which record in more detail events such as cricket and football matches. Also in the collection are administrational records which give details of the members of the House, financial accounts of the money received and spent by the House and the rules and customs of the House. A significant part of the collection is composed of the Grant's House magazine 'The Grantite Review' of which there is a comprehensive collection. Another part of the collection concerns the history of Grant's and contains details of pupils and teachers during the nineteenth century. Finally, the collection contains details of the 'Old Grantite Club', a group for alumnus of Grant's House which includes details of members, committee meetings and publications on the history of Grant's House.
