Christ's Hospital School was founded by Edward VI for children from poor
families, being established at Newgate in London
until moving to Horsham in Sussex in 1897. It still has close links with the
Corporation of the City of London and livery companies, who actively enable
pupils to attend the school. The first examples of this medal were struck in
1797, and then it was struck throughout much of the nineteenth century.
