1584 Robert Johnson founded the school.
From a Welsh family. At some time between 1479 and 1493 his father Morris/Morrice went from Shropshire to Stamford, possibly after Henry Tudor's victory at Bosworth. Morrice Johnson was a Master Dyer, Alderman, and in 1523 MP with William Cecil, later Lord Burghley's grandfather. This link with the Cecil family was to be important in Robert Johnson's career.
