Broughton is the only House named in honour of an Old Elizabethan.
William Grant Broughton was educated at Queen Elizabeth’s School in the late 18th century and was appointed Archdeacon of New South Wales in 1828, having been noticed and assisted by the Duke of Wellington. He went on to become the first (and only) Bishop of Australia of the Church of England.
Broughton is the third oldest of the QE Houses and reminds us of the important missions that Old Elizabethans take up, both in this country and abroad, upon leaving the School.
