These lists were created by Lawrence Tanner (G 1905 - 1909) and are a list of pupils at Grant's House in the years 1745-1876.\r\nThe information on the first few pages is taken from Dr Smith's (Head Master) papers, including his cash book, and gives the names of Grantites, the month they entered the House and their age from 1745-1752. The records of 1775 onwards note payments of teachers for private tuition and boarding house usher. \r\n\r\nOther notes are copied from Lord John Russell's (G 1803 - c.1809) School Lists from October 1803 published in G.F.R. Barker's 'Index of Additional Names 1789-1805'. They list the names of boys within Grant's House and their form.\r\n\r\nThere is also a list of Grant's boys taken from school registers beginning in 1815. From 1876 the list was compiled from Dr Rutherford's (Head Master) 'Entrance Book'. It lists the names of the boys and the date at which they entered Grant's House. Some notes give the ages of the boys, which form they were in, when they left and indicate if they were day pupils or boarders.
