In 1708 a public subscription school was opened on this site, known as the Abbey School. This was rebuilt and enlarged in 1816. In 1896 it became Shrewsbury National School, and was again rebuilt and enlarged.
The building remained in use as a school until 1957, and then as part of the Shrewsbury College of Art until 1980. Since then the building has been used as artists’ studios.
The large Neo-Gothic windows reflect the character of the 1896 rebuilding, but much of the fabric of the 1816 building survives. This is particularly noticeable on the rear elevation.
