Sir John Cass (1666-1718) was a City of London politician and builder, who founded a charity school near St. Botolph's, Aldgate, which opened in 1710 (in his will of 1709, he also left £1000 to endow another school in Hackney). His charity continued to fund the Sir John Cass Foundation School as well as providing for the establishment of the Sir John Cass Technical Institute, which was founded in 1899 and moved into newly built premises at 31 Jewry Street, London, in 1902. It changed its name to Sir John Cass College in 1950. In 1965 the College's Department of Fine and Applied art merged with the Department of Silversmithing and Allied Crafts from the Central School of Art to form the Sir John Cass School of Art, which moved into its own new premises at Central House, opposite the Whitechapel Art Gallery. The College's Department of Navigation of merged with part of the King Edward VII Nautical College in 1969 and moved to a new building at Tower Hill, London. The Sir John Cass College merged with the City of London College in 1970 to form the City of London Polytechnic.
