Blundell's School is a British public school. It is located in Tiverton in the county of Devon. It was founded by Peter Blundell in 1604, and relocated to its present location on the outskirts of town in 1882. The Old Blundell's School is now in the care of the National Trust, and its forecourt is usually open to visitors. One ex-Blundell's boy was the writer R. D. Blackmore — in Lorna Doone he used the Blundell's triangular lawn as the stage for a fight between John Ridd and Robin Snell. [1] Blundell's is also believed to be the model for St Custard's school in the Molesworth series of books. One of his creators, Geoffrey Willans, was a pupil at Blundell's; he was in Petergate house. dav A public school, in current English, Welsh and Northern Ireland usage, is a (usually) prestigious independent school, for children usually between the ages of 11 or 13 and 18, which charges fees and is not financed by the state. ...
