The Grade 1 Listed building is a scheduled ancient monument. William Patten known as William of Waynflete (born 1395) authorised the building of the college in 1484. Having founded the Magdalen College at Oxford, Oxfordshire, the school was originally intended to educate seven boys and send them on to Oxford. It eventually became an elementary school for boys and girls totalling 30-60 pupils. The college now houses a museum, library and cafe.

Just south from one of the tightest rail curves on the network. The curve is there because what used to be a junction on the now disused line to Grimsby was closed, so the junction became a curve. Be careful to look and listen before using the crossing (signs tell you this in any case). Trains generally sound their horn before the crossing.
