Dr John Favour founded Heath Grammar School in 1600, under a charter set out by Queen Elizabeth. It was known as a free school, hence the road name 'Free School Lane'. The strongly Puritanical Favour was a topic often discussed at public meetings. Favour frequently participated in the torture and executions of priests who came to England preaching Catholicism.
Heath Grammar School and Crossley & Porter School merged in 1984, becoming Crossley-Heath School. Today Crossley-Heath School is a Grammar school serving the Halifax area.
Still standing 2003.
