In 1861 Phoebe Locke in vested £3,008 for repairs to the school masters house and the

maintenance of 10 scholarships for boys between 10 and 14 years of age. Her late husband

was educated there.

Aha! I just found another newspaper report for 1861 that confirms that at that time Barnsley Grammar School was indeed on Church Street, the master being a Mr Hargreaves. Since my interest is the 1860s, it seems likely that the Cooper Gallery was formerly the grammar school when my ancestor and his brothers attended.
