Kings Norton Restoration Trust Details
Besides the medieval green at the heart of Kings Norton in south west Birmingham stands one of the oldest grammar schools in the country, a 12th century church, and a 15th century merchant's house; now collectively known as Saint Nicolas Place. All are buildings of considerable historical and architectural importance and were winners of BBC Two's Restoration 2004. After continuing as a school for two hundred years, the building fell into neglect at the beginning of the 19th century. Repairs were made in 1910 when a new external staircase was put in and again in 1951 after vandalism and further decay had taken their toll. The Old Grammar school is now fully restored. The nearby Tudor Merchant's House was quite possibly the largest house of the royal manor during the 15th century. The house boasts highly decorated medieval workmanship and the sophisticated building techniques confirm that the property held high status. Now fully restored, teh buildings at Saint Nicolas Place provide a memorable venue for education, community, private and corporate events..
