Jacobean House is perhaps Winchcombe's most impressive building. Two-gabled and three-floored, it stands tall at the end of Queen Square. Built in 1618, it was the town’s first grammar school. The King’s School – as it was known – was founded for ten local boys in the name of Edward VI. It has survived a 19th Century restoration with most of its Jacobean features intact. Among them, the Jacobean central doorway with Tuscan columns.
