Warren in the 14th century until 1835 when they sold out their manorial rights to the Corporation. The Warrens of Poynton were for centuries benefactors of the School. Sir Edward Warren, Baron of Stockport, gave additional increments to the Masters of the School over and above the salary paid by the Goldsmiths. He was High Sheriff of Cheshire in 1598. John and Edward Warren in 1705 arranged for a payment out of the manorial rates to be given to the Schoolmaster and Edward Warren, Lord of the Manor of Stockport in 1711 gave a considerable area of Great Moor to provide a permanent income for the Schoolmaster, the Mayor of the Town and the poor. Hugh Warren, 1669 - 1733, son of Judge Warren and brother of Edward, benefactor, attended the School under Headmaster Timothy Dobson M.A. as did doubtless other Warren of whom records now remain. The Warrens lived at Poynton Hall of which nothing now exists. Their town house was Millgate Hall, a fine Tudor mansion in Newbridge lane taken down in 1927. Warren house are the current holders of the Fallow Shield. Publications The Stopfordian The school's annual publication is The Stopfordian, now a full-colour comprehensive review of the school year, which was first published in 1929. This makes The Stopfordian one of the longest-running school publications in the United Kingdom. A predecessor, named simply Stockport Grammar School Magazine, dates back to 1899. Taking Stock The school has published Taking Stock, a short glossy newsletter rounding up recent news and photographs, every term since 1996. Old Stops' Review Old Stops' Review, a new annual magazine containing news from ex-pupils, was first published in 2011. Old Stopfordians Former pupils are known as "Old Stopfordians", not to be confused with simply Stopfordians (the demonym of Stockport being "Stopfordian"), or the former pupils of Bishop Stopford's School at Enfield, who are also known as Old Stopfordians. Pupils automatically become members of the Old Stopfordians Association on leaving the school. The association runs regular reunions and there is a strong network of Old Stopfordians who provide careers advice, work experience and support to current pupils. The association also run a number of social occasions during the year, including an annual dinner, and its members are encouraged to attend several of the school's regular events, including its founder's day and Christmas carol services.
