A sign on the site of Sir Joseph Williamson's Mathematical School in Rochester High Street, Kent

---

Sir Joseph Williamson's Mathematical School (known variously as Rochester Maths, The Math or Joe Willy's) still exists as a boys' grammar school in Rochester, although not on its original site. It was founded by the 17th-century politician Sir Joseph Williamson, who left £5,000 to set up this school and another in Thetford (also still in existence). This sign marks the original site of the school in Rochester High Street where it spanned a part of the city wall. it was demolished in the early 1970's and the site is now a car park.
