In November 1877, the foundations for the Big School Room were dug: allegedly half as deep as the building is high. The work was started under Headmaster H.D. Harper who felt the school needed a suitable place for the assembly of the whole School.
The new assembly hall was designed in the perpendicular style by architects Richard Herbert Carpenter (1841-1893) and Benjamin Ingelow (1835-1926).
