High School for Boys, Melksham

This was at 2 Semington Road and was probably built as a school by Oliver Kimber, surveyor of the West Wilts Land & Building Co. It was kept from the 1880s by Roland Taylor Warren, the headmaster. In 1898 the school was divided into lower, upper and middle houses and offered instruction in Latin, Greek, Mathematics, Euclid, Algebra, Applied Sciences, Rhetoric, Elocution, Civil Law, French, German and English Literature. By 1903 the headmaster was Arthur William Gosnall. The building was used by photographic processors and is now residential.
