Description: In May 1882 the whole of school moved up the road from the Old Blundell’s School site to the new purpose built site on Blundell’s Road.

The set of buildings associated with Blundell’s School is visually important and an architecturally interesting part of Tiverton’s’ Townscape. The School is a well-known feature of Tiverton and an important part of the history of the town.
