Each school in the town has received a framed copy of an individual charter on loan from the Town Council.

Higham Ferrers Town Council, supported by Higham Ferrers Tourism, Business and Community Partnership, successfully achieved Heritage Lottery Funding to restore and safely house the five Royal Charters and set of Byelaws.
A Charter is a document recording the granting of rights and privileges often given by a monarch or a baron. There was a total of seven Charters, of which only the last five are remaining in Higham Ferrers.
Nine months of conservation work began in September 2018 to restore the Charters for future generations to see and enjoy.
A week of activities to engage school children and staff with their local heritage and raise awareness of the Charters and their importance to the town’s heritage.
