William Hulme
William Hulme (c.1631 – 1691) was an English lawyer and landowner from Lancashire responsible for the creation of the Hulme Trust (also known as Hulme's Charity). Early life The Hulme family's pedigree was recorded by the Heralds in a Visitation in 1567 but relatively little is known about Hulme's life. He is recorded as having been baptised at Bolton in 1631, the son of William Hulme (d.1637) of Hulme Hall, Reddish, Lancashire. After the death of his father in 1637, his uncle John Hulme (1599–1657), acted as his guardian. It is probable that he was educated at the Manchester Grammar School. In 1648, some of his property was seized for his Cavalier sympathies in the English Civil War. Career Hulme is believed to have matriculated at Brasenose College, Oxford in 1649, and to have joined Gray's Inn in 1650, though there is no evidence of his having graduated from Oxford or been called to the Bar.

William Hulme's Grammar School
William Hulme's Grammar School is a mixed all-through school in Whalley Range, Manchester, England. History William Hulme (1631–1691) of Hulme Hall, Stockport, was the founder of "Hulme's Charity" later known as the Hulme Trust. Following the premature death of his son, he left provision for the foundation of exhibitions for four students to study for Bachelor of Arts degrees at Brasenose College in Oxford. The income for this charity was originally £64, which came from rents and dues on his many outlying properties. Over the years, this sum grew so much that on several occasions it was necessary to extend the scope of his bequest. In 1881, the Trustees of his charity were empowered to build schools in Manchester, Oldham and Bury. The Manchester school was founded on 26 January 1887 as a grammar school. Originally named The Hulme Grammar School, in 1939 it changed its name to William Hulme's Grammar School. Until 1975 it was a direct grant school; when this scheme was ...
