This symphony is not in G minor, and is the only one of his symphonies to have no key assigned to it. But the list at the bottom of the page keeps saying "in G minor." How to get rid of that? --[[User:Wspencer11|Wspencer11]] [[User talk:Wspencer11|(talk to me...)]] 11:50, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
The College traces its origins to the free school founded by Henry Strode and this School and the Almshouses were built on the same site in Egham in 1706. The original buildings were pulled down. Of their replacements, built in 1828, two ranges of almshouses remain. Listed as historic buildings, they are still in use by the College. The present main College building dates from 1915.

History

The College traces its origins to the free school founded by Henry Strode and this School and the Almshouses were built on the same site in Egham in 1706. The original buildings were pulled down. Of their replacements, built in 1828, two ranges of almshouses remain. Listed as historic buildings, they are still in use by the College. The present main College building dates from 1915.

Under further changes introduced following the 1944 Education Act, the School was granted Voluntary Controlled status as a Boys' Grammar School and the composition of its Governing Body set to include four Foundation Trustees, one of whom, at least, was to be a representative of the Company.
