About the Item

A profusely carved graffitied oak panel, possibly from a students desk, door or panel in a communal area like a toilet . The graffiti is mainly students names, with a later engraved silver plaque reading “Leeds Grammar School Founded 1552”. “D.I. CURRIE” is carved quite cleanly in the centre; also “F.S. Wood” and “D. Burrow” nearby. “J.E. PETTY”, “M. ROBINSON”, and “F.H. HUDSON” are also visible. Harder to read due to overlapping graffiti, but there are initials like “H.G. Slater” partially discernible, along with several others. 19th century in age, 38/41/2cm
