The grave of this "immortal boy" cannot be identified.

His name, and everything about him except what is here recorded, is unknown; but he was, in all likelihood, a school companion of Wordsworth's at Hawkshead.
'And through that churchyard when my way has led On summer evenings.' One may localize the above description almost anywhere at Hawkshead--Ed.] [Footnote M: Hawkshead School, in which Wordsworth was taught for eight years--from 1778 to 1786--was founded by Archbishop Sandys of York, in 1585, and the building is still very much as it was in Wordsworth's time.

The main school-room is on the ground floor.

One small chamber on the first floor was used, in the end of last century, by the head master, as a private class-room, for teaching a few advanced pupils.

In another is a small library, formed in part by the donations of the scholars; it having been a custom for each pupil to present a volume on leaving the school, or to send one afterwards.
