The
original building on Whitechapel Road has been renovated and is now available for reunions.
I will happily organise a reunion if there is sufficent demand - so do please email
me if you are interested. There are currently just five names on the list!
Internally, only the
original lecture theatre remains, the rest of the interior has been modernised.
If you'd like to visit the building to see what has been done,
please let me know.
Davenant was founded in 1680 by Revd.
Ralph Davenant.
The school was based in Whitechapel until 1965 so there are many of
us who still have vivid memories of that era.............
