School House occupies the original accommodation, within the monastic precinct, provided for the School in 1541, when the Cathedral was refounded.  

The late 11th century building, probably originally a granary, was converted to guest accommodation for Ely monastery in the 13th century.  

The School’s only boarding accommodation until 1882, it faces onto School Lane, opposite the 14th century Prior Crauden’s chapel, now used as the School chapel, and the leafy grounds of Priory House, home to our King's Ely Prep boarders.
