CHAPTER 3

The Colchester Free Grammar School thus established in Westons was provided with its regulations on January 13th, 1587, when the Lord Bishop of London and Alexander Nowell, Dean of St. Paul's, "ordained, published, and declared (twenty-one) Statutes, Ordinances, and Constitutions … by the Schoolmaster and Schollars to be observed and kept." These are reproduced in full

1. By item 21 of the Statutes and Ordinances a Master who accepted a benefice after his appointment was to be replaced. Griffin, however, although appointed Rector of Greenstead, Jan 16th, 1667, retained the post of master until 1671.
2. Slinger, like Griffin, accepted benefices while still master of the School. He was appointed rector of East Donyland Feb. 4th, 1686, and of Layer Breton Oct 15th, 1692.
