 Harrow School - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Harrow School, normally just known as Harrow, is one of the world's most famous schools.
It is an independent school for boys, located in Harrow on the Hill in North West London, England.
It is also argued that Lyon's founding of Harrow was not in fact a founding, but a refounding as there had been a school at Harrow since 1324, and all he was doing was giving it a new status; in modern terms, he was simply rebranding the existing product.

 Schools: Harrow School | British History Online
In February 1572 John Lyon, a yeoman of Preston in Harrow, secured from Elizabeth I a charter to re-found a free grammar school for the boys of the parish of Harrow, to send two scholars to Cambridge and two to Oxford, and to improve the highways between Edgware and London.
Under Thomas Brian (1691-1730), another Etonian, the school continued to flourish, although there was a period of depression towards the end of Anne's reign.
Harrow also enjoyed the patronage of James Brydges, later Duke of Chandos, a man of outstanding business capacity and a governor from 1713 to 1740, but the same period saw the number of free scholars decline to 14, while the Lyon exhibitions at the universities were often held by non-Harrovians or not at all.

 EFA: Fives at Harrow
On reading the School records of the second half of the nineteenth century, one is struck by the minority status of Fives compared to Rackets.
The match in 1886, when the Harrow pair were H F King and B R Warren, is recorded as a Harrow victory (although, in retrospect, that seems unlikely) but no scores are given and there is no mention of a match in 1887.
Harrow did produce one outstanding pair in the fifties, M J Shortland-Jones and D J S Guilford, both of Druries, and both later to become Eton Masters, who individually and as a pair were to feature in no fewer than eight Kinnaird finals between 1953 and 1970.

 SUPA: The Schools and Universities Polo Association   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The 2004 season has been a very successful and exciting one for Harrow polo not just in terms of match victories, of which there have been plenty, but also in terms of the development of the sport within the school.
If we compare that figure to the four boys who were involved in Harrow polo just four years ago, it is clear that Harrow is well ahead of the national increase in popularity that polo is currently experiencing.
We began the Harrow polo season back in January, by inviting two coaches to school to run introductory sessions in the school’s polo pit, located in the area of the fives courts.

 L.A. Mekler: Review of Elledge, Lord Byron at Harrow School
Paul Elledge's Lord Byron at Harrow School: Speaking Out, Talking Back, Acting Up, Bowing Out is a comprehensive examination of Lord Byron's experiences during what Elledge shows to be a crucial period: Byron's matriculation at the Harrow School outside London from shortly after his thirteenth birthday in 1801 until his departure at seventeen in 1805.
By focusing on Byron's development during his adolescence, Elledge is certainly on safe ground when he highlights the significance of this period on Byron's developing sense of identity.
For the most part, Elledge weaves the different threads of his argument together with precision, especially when exploring Byron's relationships to the Drurys and his changing perception of the obstacles that initially impede his enjoyment of Harrow.
