Robert of Muston has Boston Grammar School's Muston (blue) house named after him.
Boston Grammar School was founded in 1555 but Boston probably had a grammar school well before the end of the thirteenth century, and certainly did so by 1329 when, with the chancellorship vacant, it is recorded that the dean and chapter of Lincoln had "conferred the School of St. Botolph on Robert of Muston... from Michaelmas 1329 to the same feast next year...".
These appointments, made in the name of the dean, Anthony Beck, and Canons Giles of Redmere and John of Schalby, as vicegerents, are recorded in the Acta Capitoli, thus providing the earliest known written reference to a school in Boston. This interim appointment, together with similar appointments for five other grammar schools, were continued annually for five successive years. Sixty years elapsed before other such appointments are listed.[1]
