Obviously not a Grammar School, for the carved inscription lacks the necessary apostrophe. The conclusion with a full stop, which by the custom of our times is seldom included in a title or notice, was once perfectly normal, just as places would not use a capital letter for the word 'street', 'road', etc. Even a sign was regarded as a sentence, or sentences, deserving of having the normal rules of grammar and punctuation applied.

Punctuation was important to our ancestors, even on simple signs. For them, a full stop indicated the message had finished. Nowadays we infer the end of a piece of information on, say, a street sign. To our generation it's so obvious that the ipernity government wilfully remove the full point I included in the title of this photograph, no matter how many times I restore it. Thus I have resorted to writing it in full. Let's see how they manage with that.
