Every corner of Woodhouse Grove tells a story.

The underpass to Art may be gone, but the benches overlooking the cricket pitches remain - quiet witnesses to countless peaceful moments. The iconic Quad, with its Holy Grass, still carries the footsteps of generations of Grovians.

Now, you can help create the same memories for future students. The 1812 Society provides bursaries to talented young people. Every donation, no matter what size, makes a difference. You can be that difference.
