Winterborne was built by [[Isaac Greatorex|Sir Isaac Greatorex]] in [[1764]] as a charity school for the poor, but he got into debt and sold it, after which it was reopened as a minor public school that became one of prestige over the years. However, it was widely-believed that Greatorex had been forced to give up the school because of devil-worship and human sacrifice, as well as membership of a religious sect. He was hanged and buried beneath the gallows. | Winterborne was built by [[Isaac Greatorex|Sir Isaac Greatorex]] in [[1764]] as a charity school for the poor, but he got into debt and sold it, after which it was reopened as a minor public school that became one of prestige over the years.
