King Henry VIII Grammar School, Abergavenny was one of a series of schools founded during the Reformation in England and Wales with money from property seized from the Catholic Church. In this case a school which had been associated with the local Priory Church was administered by the (now Protestant) state instead. The school provided free education to boys in the local area who passed an entrance examination. The school was merged with the local Girls' High School in 1963 and later became a comprehensive school when selection at 11 was abolished.
