1955 marked the 400th anniversary of the granting of the school charter. To help commemorate this quater-centenary, a booklet detailing the school's history was written by Hubert Turpin, a long-serving History teacher at BGS. Entitled "Boston Grammar School: A Short History", it was the first attempt to summarise the key events in the school's lifetime - information which had previously been recorded in disparate sources.

It was first published in 1955, and later updated in 1966.
