Newcome's School was a fashionable boys' school in Hackney, then to the east of London, founded in the early 18th century. A number of prominent Whig families sent their sons there. The school closed in 1815, and the buildings were gutted in 1820. In 1825 the London Orphan Asylum opened on the site. Today the Clapton Girls' Academy is located here.

History

Newcome's school was established in the early 18th century. During the 18th century and early 19th century, Hackney was home to schools of all kinds, including a number of significant dissenting academies. It was considered a healthy area, close to London and with easy access in all weathers via the Old North Road.

Many prominent Whig families sent their sons to the school, resulting in a large number of Members of Parliament having received their education there. Dr. Henry Newcome, who gave the school its name, was noted for Whig political principles, and the school stayed in the family for three generations, to 1803.^[1]^[2] The family descended from Henry Newcome, a prominent nonconformist minister in Manchester. His third son Peter was an Anglican priest, and the father of the Henry Newcome who gave the school its name.

Distinguished pupils included Augustus FitzRoy, 3rd Duke of Grafton, Prime Minister from 1768 to 1770, and two Founding Fathers of the United States (Middleton and Nelson).

The school closed in 1815, and the building was knocked down in 1820.^[3] In 1825 the London Orphan Asylum opened on the site.^[4] The History of Parliament (1820–1832) comments that, even after its closure, the school could count nine Members of Parliament educated there in the period.^[5] It sent 42 pupils to Trinity College, Cambridge.^[6]

Today the Clapton Girls' Academy is located on the site.

Drama

Newcome's School was noted for a series of dramatic productions.^[7] In some case a prologue or epilogue was written specially. The school was one of a group that acted as preparatory schools to Westminster School; the dramatic tradition imitated Westminster's, with the difference that plays were in English (rather than Latin). One of the contributors of prologues was David Garrick.^[8] The custom of giving a play every three years was also taken over from the Elizabethan statutes of Westminster School. It ended about 1800.^[9]^: 70

1720s A prologue and epilogue to Tamerlane by Nicholas Rowe were written by Richard Steele, it is thought for use by the school.^[10]
The Siege of Damascus by John Hughes, with John Hoadly and Charles Plumptre^[11]

 [[File:Hackney School Reeve.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Engraving c. 1820 of the former Newcome's School in Hackney]]
 '''Newcome's School''' was a fashionable boys' school in [[Hackney Central|Hackney]], then to the east of London, founded in the early 18th century. A number of prominent [[Whigs (British political party)|Whig]] families sent their sons there. The school closed in 1815, and the buildings were gutted in 1820. In 1825 the [[London Orphan Asylum]] opened on the site. Today the [[Clapton Girls' Academy]] is located here.
 ==History==
-Newcome's school was established in the early 18th century. During the 18th century and early 19th century, Hackney was home to schools of all kinds, and was considered a healthy area, close to London.
+Newcome's school was established in the early 18th century. During the 18th century and early 19th century, Hackney was home to schools of all kinds, including a number of significant [[dissenting academies]]. It was considered a healthy area, close to London and with easy access in all weathers via the [[Ermine Street|Old North Road]].
-Many prominent [[Whigs (British political party)|Whig]] families sent their sons to the school, resulting in a large number of Members of Parliament having received their education there. Dr. Henry Newcome, who gave the school its name, was noted for Whig political principles,  and the school stayed in the family for three generations, to 1803.<ref>{{HistoryofParliament|1754|last=Brooke |first=John |title=The Members - Education |url=https://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1754-1790/survey/iii-members}}</ref><ref name="Lysons1811">{{cite book|first=Daniel |last=Lysons|title=The Environs of London: Kent, Essex, and Herts|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=P5cjAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA310|accessdate=14 May 2013|year=1811|publisher=Printed for T.
