with Barry Cunliffe.
Owing to the changing needs in children's education, a school in the Dorset town of Sherborne will close this summer, 352 years after its foundation. Sean Street visits Foster's School and discovers how its history highlights the national reforms in education since those days in 1640 when it provided for "ten poor boys and ten poor girls".
And Sonia Beesley talks to John Kennedy Melling about the Guilds and Liveries of London in a week when they welcome a new member to their ranks.
