GOVERNMENT SCHOOL OF DESIGN,
Minster Yard (formerly St. Peter's School), stands on the site
occupied by the old Deanery, is a branch of the Department
of Practical Art, South Kensington, and was established about
1850. It is a small ecclesiastical-looking building in the Tudor
style, and possesses a good collection of casts of ornaments and
figures from the antique ;
classes are held thrice daily. It is
supported by a Government grant, the fees paid by students,
and local subscriptions, which latter are most disproportionate
to the requirements. The large oil painting, by Marsden,
of " Paul before Agrippa," formerly hung in the Guildhall,
was taken down in order to make room for Alderman
Leeman's window, and presented to the committee of this
institution by the Corporation. On the plot of ground in
iront are three guns used by the Artillery Volunteers for
drill.
