Abstract:		 Intrusive opening up works at the Free Grammar School, Highcross Street, Leicester, designed to assess the survival and condition of elements of the historic built fabric of the grade II* listed building, has established that: Nothing of the early first floor structure now survives. A series of transverse beams that were in situ in 1966 are no longer extant. On the Highcross Street elevation early stone surrounds survive beneath the present concrete render on all ground floor 3-light mullion windows. The stone surrounds were first rendered over in the 19th century and were subsequently coated in concrete as part of the 1966 development. It is likely that similar stone surrounds survive for the first floor windows and plaque surrounds on this elevation. The ground floor 2-light window and the doorway on the Highcross Street elevation both have 19th century brick surrounds. On the east (car park) elevation the northernmost first floor window, now with a 20th century concrete surround, corresponds with the position of an earlier window opening with stone surround. Traces of earlier wall coverings, including lime plaster and lime wash, survive beneath the modern gypsum plaster at various locations on the inner faces of the stone-built east and west walls. However, as part of the 1966 development steel mesh was nailed to the wall faces to provide a key for plastering, which has caused considerable damaged to these earlier coverings. In some areas earlier wall coverings appear to have been deliberately removed to expose bare stonework.
