About

Welcome to the Crypt Alumni website. The Club was founded in 1901 (see history) to support the historic Crypt Grammar School which began life in the heart of Gloucester in 1539. The original schoolroom still exists today in St. Mary de Crypt in Southgate Street, Gloucester.

Throughout the year we organise a programme of events to attract ex-pupils of all ages. As well as our Reunion Dinner in March and attendance at the Founders’ Day service (with a social after) the Club organise social events through the year.

A highlight of the school year is Founders’ Day, held in Gloucester Cathedral. Old Cryptians and their families are honoured guests at the very moving service. The day concludes with a social at which the incoming President is installed.

The Club encourages members worldwide to maintain contact with one another through this site and through social media.

Club members are very proud of the education that they received at the Crypt School and thus many choose to contribute to the Bursary Fund. This has charitable status and helps to bind the present School and Crypt Alumni.
