Tudor History

Tudor was formed in 1928 in the second year of the school when more boys arrived. It is Glyn’s third oldest house and therefore has a rich and varied history of successes.

Tudor takes it's name and it’s crest from the Royal House of Tudor, which belonged to monarchs such as Henry VII, Henry VIII and Elizabeth I - a truly royal link to Glyn school. The local link with the Tudor dynasty is that Henry VIII took the land of Chertsey Abbey during the reformation and handed it to his loyal subjects. 

Although the early years were tough, Tudor House soon became one of the strongest houses, winning the Victor Ludorum Cup eleven times (just one behind Carew!), including a hat-trick of wins from 1971/72 - 1973/74. Tudor last win the trophy in 2009/10 which is a long wait for such a prestigious House.
