The Cathedral Choir School was established (or "re-opened" as styled at the time), in 1880 following a period of significant improvements to both the fabric of the cathedral, and the quality of the music. Deans Anson and Howson oversaw the installation of the cathedral organ in 1875, rebuilding of the western part of Abbey Court (as it was known), and replacement of the old Bishop's Palace. At that time, the King's School moved into the new buildings from their ancient home in the original monks refectory, and the choir school was established in a small corner of the same new buildings.
