The Old Free Grammar School, built in 1608, stands in the grounds of St Eurgain and St Peter's Church, Northop, Flintshire. There were few schools in Wales at the turn of the 17th Century and it seems likely that Northop was one of the first villages in Flintshire to have a school. By 1615, the school was flourishing and in addition to the salary of schoolmaster, provision was also made for the payment of an usher.
